Hydrosilylation of several unsaturated compounds with triethoxysilane in the presence of the Speier catalyst with various
additives influencing the reaction rate and selectivity was studied. The mechanism of hydrosilylation is discussed.
Key words hydrosilylation - reduction - catalysis - catalysts - selectivity - regioselectivity - mechanism
