The presence of supported gold nanoparticles enables gold-catalyzed silaboration
of terminal alkynes with PhMe2SiBpin. The reaction proceeds at
ambient conditions in very good yields with a regioselectivity opposite to that

alkylidene carbenes derived from α-silyl ketones, features excellent selectivity
for insertion into Cα-Si bonds rather than insertion into Cγ-H bonds or addition
