With a significant amount of early chemistry focusing on the stoichiometric hydrofunctionalization of olefins, it has not been until recent years that chemists have had access to the powerful metal-catalyzed equivalents. With its advent, metal-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization has broadened the scope of reactivity and made strides towards the ultimate goals of atom-economy and multiplication of chirality in the synthesis of useful molecules. In its simplest form, metal-centered catalysis can be described as reactions catalyzed with a metal M, which must be stabilized in a useful conformation and electronic configuration with ligand L. The M(L) combination can be varied by the metal and the ligand, with the ligand having a large effect on the reactivity of the complex through sterics and electronics. Herein we discuss ligand effects on a variety of metal-catalyzed hydrofunctionalizations, including hydrosilylation, hydroboration and hydrovinylation. Ligands explored include Nishiyama’s Bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine, and Schmalz’s Phosphine-Phosphite ligands. The details of the synthesis and application of these ligands is described, as well improvements to previously described methods.
