Recent advances in heterogeneous hydrosilylation of unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds

The hydrosilylation of unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds is one of the most critical reactions in silicone industrial production. The homogeneous Speier's catalyst, Karstedt's catalyst, and other noble metal-based catalysts are widely used. However, simplifying the separation of the homogeneous catalyst from reaction products and reducing the high cost of precious metals is still challenging. This review describes the recent development of heterogeneous catalysts for alkene, alkyne, and allene hydrosilylations, which can effectively solve problems in homogeneous hydrosilylation.
