Although the rhodium-catalyzed hydrosilylation of ketones has been extensively studied, there have been relatively few investigations into the mechanism.[1] Most catalyst development studies in this area refer to a mechanism proposed by Ojima et al. in 1975 (Ojima mechanism, OM; Scheme 1a),[2] in which an oxidative addition of the hydrosilane to a RhI complex gives a silyl metal hydride RhIII intermediate. Endon O-coordination of the ketone to the latter, followed by the insertion of the ketone carbonyl function into the Rh–Si bond and, finally, reductive elimination gives the silyl ether and recovers the RhI species.However, this mechanism does not explain several key observations, namely the rate enhancement observed when dihydrosilanes are used instead of monohydrosilanes, the observed kinetic isotope effects and the regioselectivity in the hydrosilylation of α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Based on such data, Zheng and Chan [3] proposed an alternative catalytic cycle (Chan mechanism, CM; Scheme 1b) in which the first step is the same as in the OM. Subsequently, the ketone interacts with the metal-bonded silicon atom and inserts into the SiÀH bond to give an alkoxysilylrhodium intermediate in the key step. After reductive elimination, the product is obtained and the active species is recovered.[4]
