Hello,
I am trying to purify a reaction product of hydrosilylation with a styrene compound using Karstedt's catalyst. However, it seems to be cumbersome for the following reason. After purification by column chromatography, NMR shows a mixture of products that are not necessarily what I was targeting (reaction of Si-H with the alpha-carbon in the alkene). I found that there are reactions that happen such as the Markovnikov, anti-Markovnikov and dehydrosilylation, but I was wondering if there are more. TLC shows a stream of products that are very hard, if possible, to separate.
Please look at the following below links which may help you in your analysis:
