Over the past few decades, manganese-catalyzed hydrosilylation of C=O or C=C/C≡C unsaturated bonds have undergone enormous developments. In this focus review, the hydrosilylation reactions of alkenes, alkynes, and carbonyl-containing substrates catalyzed by manganese complexes are summarized. Moreover, the mechanisms of the manganese-catalyzed hydrosilylation are briefly discussed.
Keywords: alkenes; alkynes; carbonyl bonds; hydrosilylation; manganese.
