79. In previous work, we have, without success, attempted the hydrosilylation of β-pinene by using the 1- and 3-indenyl mixture of indenyldimethylsilane in the presence of Karstedt's catalyst. Thus, for some reason, the reactivity of this compound under hydrosilylation conditions appears to be very low.
