Dirhodium(II) tetrakis(perfluorobutyrate)-catalyzed 1,4-hydrosilylation of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2006 Nov;54(11):1622-3. doi: 10.1248/cpb.54.1622.

Abstract

The use of dirhodium(II) catalysts in the 1,4-hydrosilylation of alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes was explored. Dirhodium(II) tetrakis(perfluorobutyrate), Rh2(pfb)4, proved to be the catalyst of choice for this process, providing the corresponding silyl enol ethers in high yields.
