Hydrosilylation of allyl derivatives with T, D and M type hydrosilanes

Hydrosilylation reactions of allyl derivatives (i.e., allyl acetate, N,N-dimethylallylamine and allyl ethyl ether) with hydrosilanes (i.e., octahydridosilsesquioxane, 2,4,6,8-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, and tetramethyldisiloxane) were carried out in the presence of the Karstedtʹs catalyst in order to compare their structure–reactivity relationship. The effects of a phosphine ligand on the conversion and the selectivity were also investigated with PPh3 as an additive to the Karstedtʹs catalyst.
