The hydrosilylation of allyl chloride with trimethoxysilane has been examined in the presence of several homogeneous complex catalysts. Iridium and ruthenium complexes exhibit higher selectivities in the reaction to give 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane (1). Other complexes usually give propylene and/or tetramethoxysilane as side products in large quantities. The Ru_{3}(CO)_{12}-catalyzed reactions effected at lower temperatures or by using a large excess of trimethoxysilane relative to allyl chloride give the chloropropylsilane in good yields.
