Efficient Hydrosilylation of Carbonyl Compounds with the Simple Amide Cata-lyst [Fe{N(SiMe3)2}2]. — Fe(NTms2)2 represents a novel cost-effective, environmen-tally benign catalyst for the hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds at room tempera-ture. No neutral donor ligand or activator is required. A wide range of functional groups is tolerated, including ether, olefin, cyclopropyl, aromatic bromine, dimethylamino or nitrile groups. — (YANG, J.; TILLEY*, T. D.; Angew. Chem., Int.
