Abstract

The hydrosilylation of isocyanates is promoted by palladium catalysts and affords N-silylformamides or C-silylamides. The orientation of the reaction depended upon the structure of isocyanates. The reaction of carbodiimides with silicon hydrides, catalyzed by PdCl2 or (Ph3P)3RhCl, required higher temperatures to give N-silylformamidines. The adducts obtained in these reactions are precursors to formamides, formamidines, and their N-acetyl derivatives.
