“…23,40,41 Recently, Kyushin reported Rucatalyzed (E)-or (Z)-selective hydrosilylation of alkynes and hydrooligosilanes without Si-Si bond cleavage. 29,42 We envisioned that (E)-selective addition of cyclosilanes to alkynes could yield s,p-conjugated cyclosilanes. As Kyushin's study focused on linear monohydrosilanes like H-SiMe 2 SiMe 2 -Ph, our initial focus was regioselectivity with tetrafunctional 1,4Si 6 (Table 1 and Fig.…”
