Abstract

Hydrosilylation of isoprene catalyzed by a palladium complex prepared in situ from triphenylphosphine and bis(benzonitrile)palladium dichloride was studied. The reaction was found to proceed regioselectively and stereoselectively to give (Z)-2-methylbuten-2-ylsilane exclusively. The stereochemistry of the 2-methylbuten-2-ylsilane was elucidated on the basis of NMR Spectroscopy, measuring the nuclear Overhauser effect. A possible mechanism of the reaction is proposed.
