The platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation of unsymmetrical substituted arylalkynes with various hydrosilanes was investigated and the reaction selectivity of various para-substituted substrates was compared with that of their corresponding orthosubstituted derivatives. We showed that heterogeneous platinum oxide is a very efficient catalyst for such hydrosilylations and that H-Si bond addition proceeds in a stereoselective cis-fashion. The regioselectivity was found to be under the control of the ortho-substituent rather than due to the nature of the platinum catalyst. Arylalkynes with an ortho-substituent provided predominantly to exclusively α-selectivity, regardless of the electronic nature of the substituent. The precise contributions of steric, electronic, and coordinative factors controlling the regioselectivity of the H-Si bond addition are discussed. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
