Abstract

AbstractIn the present study the abilities of catalysts modified by formamidine ligands have been examined in the zinc‐catalyzed hydrosilylation of ketones and the iron‐catalyzed epoxidation of stilbene. In case of hydrosilylation diethylzinc combined with easily accessible formamidine ligands allow for the efficient reduction of various aryl and alkyl ketones. By using a convenient in situ catalyst system high turnover frequencies up to more than 1.000 h–1 and a broad functional group tolerance were achieved. Moreover, the formamidine ligands were successfully applied in the iron‐catalyzed epoxidation of stilbene with hydrogen peroxide in good yield and chemoselectivity.
