Abstract

Abstract Silylcyanation of aldehyde or ketone was performed in a solution involving Et3SiCN produced by photoreaction of Et3SiH with MeCN in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cp(CO)2FeMe (Cp = C5H5). The iron complex derived from Cp(CO)2FeMe serves as a catalyst both for C–C bond cleavage of MeCN and concomitant Si–C bond formation and for Si–C bond cleavage in silylcyanation. The catalytic reaction mechanism has been discussed.
