Palladium-catalysed hydrosilylation of unsaturated compounds

A B S T R A C T Hydrosilylation is the unique reactions for the inclusion of silicon hydrides across C-C multiple bonds. Which is an efficient method for the formation of organosilicon compounds and represents the most significant reactions in silicon chemistry. Silasubstitution has received increasing attention in various fields of chemistry due to its low toxicity, ease of isolation and storage, favourable metabolic profiles and stability through multistep synthetic sequences without degradation. Hydrosilylation is mainly carried out in the presence of a metal catalyst like Pd, Ru and Pt. Karstedt's and Speier's catalysts are mainly accepted in these areas for decades. Improvement of more selective, cheap and efficient catalyst systems is still needed for more inexpensive production of organosilicon materials having superior properties. In the area of palladium catalysts, further developments have been made to improve the activity and selectivity in the past twelve years. This review comprehends the recent advances in Palladium-catalysed hydrosilylation reactions reported in the last twelve years from 2008 to 2020. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
