Abstract: A kind of μ-hydroxo organotin dimmer [Bu2Sn(OH)(OTf)(H2O)]2(1) was prepared from Bu2SnO and CF3SO3H(TfOH), and the hydrosilylation of aldehydes catalyzed by compound 1 were studied. The conditions of hydrosilylation catalyzed by compound 1 were discussed. Compound 1 can catalyze hydrosilylation of aromatic aldehydes as well as aliphatic aldehydes without byproducts such as ether or alkyl forming. Compared with conventional Lewis acid catalysts, μ-hydroxo organotin dimer as an efficient catalyst has some merit as follow: the catalyst can be synthesized in a simple way; due to its stability in water and air, the catalyst can be saved and used conveniently; the catalyst concentration is very low and high chemoselectivity is readily attained. The hydrosilylation of aldehydes can be catalyzed exclusively but the other carbonyl compounds and some reductive groups in one molecular or in one reaction system couldn′t be catalyzed.

Key words: μ-Hydroxo organotin dimer, Selective catalyst, Aldehyde, Hydrosilylation
