Abstract

The efficient synthesis of hydrosilanes by catalytic ydrogenolysis of chlorosilanes is described, using an Iridum (III) pincer catalyst. A careful selection of a nitrogen base (incl. sterically hindered guanidines and phosphazenes) can unlock the preparation of Me₃SiH, Et₃SiH and Me₂SiHCl in high yield (up to 98%), directly from their corresponding chlorosilanes.
