Abstract

The catalytic hydrosilylation of alkynes and ketones has been explored utilizing palladium- and nickel(allyl) complexes supported by 3-iminophosphine ligands. Palladium and nickel demonstrated distinctly different reactivity profiles, with palladium proving very effective for the hydrosilylation of electron-deficient alkynes, while nickel excelled with ketones and internal alkynes. Additionally, in many cases, regioselective hydrosilylation was observed.
