Selective hydrosilylation of N-allylimines using a (3-iminophosphine)palladium precatalyst†
Abstract
Hydrosilylation utilizing a (3-iminophosphine)palladium catalyst leads to the selective reduction of the imine unit of allylimines. Successful reduction of twenty-five different substituted aromatic and alkyl allylimines demonstrated the scope and selectivity of this catalytic system.
