25. Most hydrosilylation studies of internal alkynes have achieved regioselectivities primarily through either steric discrimination or intramolecular delivery of tethered silanes.

29. Tius has described a rhodium-catalyzed hydrosilylation of ynals to provide similar α-selectivity to our system, but steric differentiation was also highly influential. See

31. Although geometrical considerations are not applicable, it should be noted that substrates based on terminal alkynes were effective in the silyl migration process but provided complex mixtures in the hydrosilylation process. See Supporting Information for details.

45. The silylenone products were not effective Hiyama coupling partners, likely due to the complicating electrophilicity of the enone under the fluoride-based conditions.
46. Water additive was crucial to the success of these transformations, most likely facilitating the formation of a disiloxane intermediate which upon fluoride activation is the active transmetallation species. For a relevant discussion, see

48. α-Silylenones can also be converted to α-iodoenones by treatment with ICl; see

50. This process is generally stereoconvergent, however, as illustrated in the transformations of both 3 and 10 to 11. In contrast, the use of Hiyama couplings enables efficient access to both isomers of the trisubstituted alkenes.
