Abstract
Pincer iron complexes with electron-donating phosphinite-iminopyridine (PNN) ligands are efficient catalysts for the anti-Markovnikov alkene hydrosilylation of primary, secondary, and tertiary silanes. More importantly, the system tolerates reactive groups such as ketones, esters, and amides. Furthermore, the iron catalysts may provide a low-cost and environmentally benign alternative to currently employed systems for alkene hydrosilylation.
