Table 2. Catalytic Oxygen Transfer to Si–H Bond Using Nitrous Oxide^a.

^aThe reactions were conducted using a THF solution containing 0.01 mmol of catalyst 5 and 1.0 mmol (for PhMe₂SiH) or 0.5 mmol (for Ph₂MeSiH and ^tBuMe₂SiH) of substrate under 50 psi of N₂O.

^bThe yields (based on the silane) were determined by GC using standard curve due to the low boiling point of the product.

^c54% of the starting material was recovered.
