Abstract

Not only surprisingly facile, a hydrosilylation of pyridines under the catalysis of [Cp(iPr3P)Ru(NCCH3)2]+ has the advantages that it is 1,4-regioselective and reversible. The products can be transformed in a variety of ways (see scheme). The related complex [CpRu(NCCH3)3]+ catalyzes the two-hydrogen-atom reduction of phenanthroline by HSiMe2Ph/water.
