Selective double hydrosilylation was achieved by using tertiary and secondary silanes with an excess amount of an organonitrile (RC≡N; R=alkyl, aryl) in the presence of a catalytic amount of triirondodecacarbonyl [Fe3(CO)12] and indium trichloride (InCl3). This reaction was also catalyzed by an iron complex containing indium trihalide [Fe(MeCN)6][Fe(CO)4(InX3)2], prepared by the reaction of Fe3(CO)12 with InX3 (X=Cl, Br, I). This is a novel report of the combination of a transition-metal complex and an indium source in organic synthesis.
