Abstract

We report herein very efficient syntheses of new functional silanes obtained via olefin hydrosilylation. New bifunctional compounds contain attractive functional groups such as epoxy, fluoroalkyl, trisilylamine, chloropropyl, and methacroiloxy which can play different roles in molecular systems. Moreover, the catalytic system proposed by us exhibits high selectivity and tolerance to a wide range of functional groups. It also permitted obtaining total conversions of the starting reagents in a relatively short time under mild conditions.
