Regio- and stereoselective hydrosilylation of alkynes with alkoxysilanes for the synthesis of β-(Z) vinylsilanes catalyzed by a dirhodium(ii)/XantPhos complex

A Rh 2 (OAc) 4 /XantPhos catalyzed regio- and stereoselective hydrosilylation of alkynes with various tertiary silanes in acetonitrile represents a straightforward and highly effective strategy for the synthesis of β-( Z ) vinylsilanes.
