Graphical Abstract

Independent of substrate and solvent, the CC bond-forming reaction of organosilicon reagents with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds can be catalyzed by an iridium complex to give exclusively the Mizoroki–Heck-type addition/elimination product (see scheme). This result sharply contrasts the analogous reaction with a rhodium catalyst under similar conditions in which the 1,4-addition product is obtained preferentially. cod=cycloocta-1,5-diene.
