Hydrosilylation of Allylamine with Methyldiethoxysilane was performed with the Presence of Various Catalysts. The catalyst that was relevant in our reaction was platinum oxide also known as Adam's Catalyst. Experimental results pertaining to this catalyst were shown in this paper. The conclusion was that Platinum oxide is a versatile and effective hydrosilylation catalyst upon a wide variety of functionalized alkenes and especially aminated alkenes. It is useful due to controlled regioselectivity. The results showed that the reaction can be performed in 24 hours and the gamma carbon was selected over the beta (95 to 5). The yield of the reaction was greater than 95 percent. Platinum Oxide was also found to be environmentally friendly because it can be filtered off and can reduce metal spills. Refer to the reaction below. This result also pertains to our leading question, which focuses on the regioselectivity of the hydrosilylation step. Using this reaction scheme, the observation of the gamma addition of the SiMe2Ph group is supported.
