Abstract
Phenyldimethylsilane and trichlorosilane are shown to undergo efficient radical hydrosilylation reactions, on reaction with various alkenes, using triethylborane as the initiator. Adducts from the trichlorosilane reactions can be oxidised to afford alcohols in good yields. This two-step process leads to the anti-Markovnikov hydration of alkenes.
