Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Oct 27;58(86):12046-12049. doi: 10.1039/d2cc04318a.

Abstract

Hydrosilylation of borylalkynes to borylsilylalkenes (with a different arrangement of substituents) has been successfully developed. The cis-addition of SiH group to the CC bonds was directed by using a specific catalyst. The obtained products are crucial synthons for the introduction of the CC bonds in organic synthesis.
