Abstract

Gaseous and flammable silanes are inconvenient to use in chemical reactions. Catalytic amounts of a nickel pincer complex and NaOtBu enable the synthesis of alkyl hydrosilanes from alkenes and alkoxy hydrosilanes. The scope and mechanism of the hydrosilylation reactions are also described.
