Abstract
A Ni-H-catalyzed hydroalkylation of vinylsilanes and -germanes as well as allylsilanes with unactivated alkyl iodides is reported. Unlike related reactions of styrene or vinyl boronate esters, the addition across the C-C double bond proceeds with anti-Markovnikov selectivity to deliver the linear regioisomer. Mechanistic control experiments support a radical mechanism, and a competition experiment reveals that the chemoselectivity is in favor of the vinyl over the allyl group.
