Reaction Steps

In a 50 ml apparatus, there were combined 4.5 g (0.039 mol) of Et3SiH and 3.5 g (0.039 mol) of 3-chloro-1-butene. Pt catalyst solution (0.01 ml) was added at 22° C., followed by heating up to 77° C. over 70 min. Vacuum distillation yielded 3.46 g (58.9%) of Et3SiCl and 0.61 g (7.6%) of Et3SiCH2CH2CHMeCl. This example demonstrates the low yield of Et3SiCH2CH2CHMeCl from the unpromoted reaction of Et3SiH with 3-chloro-1-butene.
