Molybdenum-Catalyzed (E)-Selective Anti-Markovnikov Hydrosilylation of Alkynes

Abstract

Herein, we report the first example of molybdenum-catalyzed (E)-Selective anti-Markovnikov hydrosilylation of alkynes. The reaction operates effectively with the utilization of minute amounts of the inexpensive, bench-stable pre-catalyst and ligand under mild conditions. Moreover, this molybdenum-catalyzed hydrosilylation process features the advantages of simple operation, excellent selectivity, and broad functional groups tolerance.
