we report reactions of the iron allyl complex Cp*(iPr2MeP)Fe(η3-C3H5) with
sterically demanding silanes. These reactions lead to stoichiometric
hydrosilation of the allyl ligand and dehydrocoupling reactions between
the silane and the allyl group. Furthermore, this system has allowed
access to a novel Si–H oxidative addition–reductive
elimination equilibrium involving Cp*(iPr2MeP)FeH2(SiH2DMP) and Cp*(iPr2MeP)FeH(N2), which was independently synthesized.
