A Co(acac)2 /POL-Xantphos@10PPh3 -catalyzed hydrosilylation of unsymmetrical internal alkynes with Ph2 SiH2 has been developed for the synthesis of highly selective syn-α-vinylsilane products. Furthermore, terminal alkynes were also used and gave the products with excellent regioselectivity and a wide functional group tolerance. Because this porous organic polymer combines the selectivity and activity merits of Xantphos with the stability advantage derived from the high concentration of PPh3 , the Co(acac)2 /POL-Xantphos@10PPh3 can be recycled multiple times without loss of activity and selectivity. This heterogeneous catalyst is expected to find promising applications in industrial synthesis.
