Abstract
Motivated by our preliminary results on Cp2 TiF2 -catalysed
1,4-hydrosilylation of monosubstituted dienes, we assessed the performance
of several titanium complexes for the hydrosilylation of 2,3-dimethylbutadiene,
a representative bulky diene. An open-bent titanocene complex [Me2 C(C5 H4 )2 TiMe2 ] performed
the best and proved to be efficient for the hydrosilylation of a
variety of substrates such as disubstituted dienes, activated alkenes,
and even an acetylene.
Key words
hydrosilylation - titanium - diene - allylsilane - homogeneous catalysis

11 The efficacy of Cp2 TiF2 in
the hydrosilylation of mono-substituted 1,3-dienes prompted us to
assess the catalytic performance of the difluoro-ansa-titanocene.
Unfortunately, in our hands activation of the ansa-difluorotitanocene precatalyst
was not possible.
12 The geometry of 2 was
determined to be E by comparison of the
NMR spectra with those reported previously, see ref. 5.
13 The E configuration
of 5 and 6 was
unambiguously determined by NOESY NMR experiments.
