Reduction of alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones with diphenylsilanes bearing several substituents on their phenyl moiety catalyzed by rhodium-phosphine complexes
1,4-Addition product was afforded exclusively by rhodiumphosphine complex-catalyzed hydrosilylation by using 2-cyclohexen-1-one and a dihydrosilane bearing an ether substituent in spite of the fact that dihydrosilanes were believed to give 1,2-addition product selectively.
