Photo-induced ring-maintaining hydrosilylation of unactivated alkenes with hydrosilacyclobutanes.

ABSTRACT: Increasing attention has been paid to silacyclobutanes because of their wide application in ring opening and ring extension reactions. However, the synthesis of functionalized silacyclobutanes remains an unmet challenge because of the limited functional group tolerance of the reactions with organometallic reagents and chlorosilacyclobutanes. Herein, we report a conceptually different solution to this end through a visible-light-induced metal-free hydrosilylation of unactivated alkenes with hydrosilacyclobutanes. A wide range of unactivated alkenes with diverse functional groups including the base-sensitive acid, alcohol and ketones participated in this reaction smoothly. In particular, the first hydrosilylation reaction of alkenes with dihydrosilacyclobutane provides a facile access to var
