Ir-catalyzed hydrosilylation of the alkenyl phosphine borane complex 1 was achieved to give the corresponding products 2. Because the phosphino group coordinates with metals and is unstable under aerobic conditions, the formation of the corresponding borane adduct was effective not only to promote the target hydrosilylation but also to keep 1 stable under aerobic conditions. The removal of coordinated borane from 2 was readily performed with the treatment by 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane to apply to further transformations. The immobilization and following deprotection of 2 on the surface of mesoporous silica were also examined.
