Well-behaved: The ruthenium complex [Cp(iPr3P)Ru(NCCH3)2]+ (Cp=cyclopentadienyl) catalyzes monohydrosilylation of nitriles (see scheme) with unprecedented tolerance of most common functional groups. The catalyst is easily synthesized starting from commercially available compounds, is air-stable, recyclable, and works under solvent-free conditions.
