92 Addition to Unsaturated Bonds<br />
5.1.2 HYDROSILYLATION OF ALKENES<br />
Hydrosilylation <strong>of</strong> monosubstituted and gem-disubstituted olef<strong>in</strong>s (Reactions<br />
5.3 and 5.4) are efficient processes and have been shown to occur with high<br />
regioselectivity (anti-Markovnikov) <strong>in</strong> the case <strong>of</strong> both electron-rich and electron-poor<br />
olef<strong>in</strong>s [25]. For cis or trans disubstituted double bonds, hydrosilylation<br />
is still an efficient process, although it requires slightly longer reaction<br />
times and an activat<strong>in</strong>g substituent (Reaction 5.5) [25]. Any hydrosilylation<br />
product has been observed with 1,2-dialkyl-and 1,2-diaryl-substituted olef<strong>in</strong>s,<br />
due to the predom<strong>in</strong>ant reversible addition <strong>of</strong> (TMS) 3Si: radical to the double<br />
bond [19].<br />

The reversible addition <strong>of</strong> (TMS) 3Si: radical to the double bonds can be<br />
noteworthy also from a synthetic po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>of</strong> view. An example based on the<br />
isomerization <strong>of</strong> the <strong>in</strong>dustrially important 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene (4) is<br />
shown <strong>in</strong> Scheme 5.3 [19]. The f<strong>in</strong>al isomeric composition <strong>of</strong> 78:20:2 for<br />
(E,E,E)-4:(Z,E,E)-4:(Z,Z,E)-4, which is <strong>in</strong>dependent <strong>of</strong> the start<strong>in</strong>g isomer or<br />
isomeric mixture, is reached <strong>in</strong> 5 h, by us<strong>in</strong>g (TMS) 3SiH=t-BuOOBu-t=143 8C<br />
and the yield is ca 80 %.<br />
