Abstract
AbstractAlthough there has been significant progress in the development of transition‐metal‐catalyzed hydrosilylations of alkenes over the past several decades, metal‐free hydrosilylation is still rare and highly desirable. Herein, we report a convenient visible‐light‐driven metal‐free hydrosilylation of both electron‐deficient and electron‐rich alkenes that proceeds through selective hydrogen atom transfer for Si−H activation. The synergistic combination of the organophotoredox catalyst 4CzIPN with quinuclidin‐3‐yl acetate enabled the hydrosilylation of electron‐deficient alkenes by selective Si−H activation while the hydrosilylation of electron‐rich alkenes was achieved by merging photoredox and polarity‐reversal catalysis.
