✦ Synopsis

PtI 2 (PPh 3 ) 2 -catalyzed hydrosilylation of 2,2-diphenyl-1-methylenecyclopropane with HSiEt 3 forms (2,2-diphenylcyclopropyl)methyl(triethyl)silane in 87% yield as a sole product. This highly selective addition of Si H bond converts 2,2-diaryl-1methylenecyclopropane into its silylated derivative without ring-opening.
