Abstract
The first example of Au-catalyzed hydrosilylation of allenes is presented using recyclable gold nanoparticles as catalyst, without the requirement of any external ligands or additives. The hydrosilane addition takes place on the more substituted double bond of terminal allenes in a highly regioselective manner. The observed regioselectivity/reactivity modes are attributed to steric and electronic factors.
