Abstract

This study details the isolation and characterisation of three novel silver(I) amides in solution and solid-state, [Ag(Cy3 P)(HMDS)] 2, [Ag(Cy3 P){N(TMS)(Dipp)}] 3 and [Ag(Cy3 P)2 (NPh2 )] 4. Their catalytic abilities have proved successful in hydroboration and hydrosilylation reactions with a full investigation performed with complex 2. Both protocols proceed under mild conditions, displaying exceptional functional-group tolerance and chemoselectivity, in excellent conversions at competitive reaction times. This work reveals the first catalytic hydroboration of aldehydes and ketones performed by a silver(I) catalyst.
