Oxime ester-enabled anti-Markovnikov hydrosilylation of alkenes.

An oxime ester-enabled anti-Markovnikov hydrosilylation of alkenes is developed. This protocol is operationally simple and atom economical. The reaction shows broad functional group tolerance, such as ketones, amides, esters, epoxides, alcohols and carboxylic acids. Mono-substituted and geminally substituted alkenes could be chemoselectively hydrosilylated.
