Abstract:
A platinum(0) complex bearing a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)silylene and a 1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (DVTMS) was synthesized and isolated in the form of colorless crystals. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of this complex in combination with theoretical calculations indicated that the Pt→Si π-back-donation in this complex is weaker than that in the corresponding cyclic-dialkylsilylene-ligated Pt complex. The performance of this complex in the catalytic hydrosilylation of (Me3SiO)2MeSi-H with various terminal alkenes that contain functional groups was comparable to that of the corresponding cyclic dialkylsilylene/DVTMS Pt(0) complex.

Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.

The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
