52. When the compound below (10 mol %) was used as the catalyst, no reaction occurred. Notably 3 k is much less efficient compared to 3 i and 3 j, and highlights the impact of the benzothiophene moiety. For the additive effect of benzothiophene derivatives, see Scheme S5. For details, see the Supporting Information. For the use of thiophene derivatives to promote hydrosilylation of ketones, see:, A. Furuta, H. Nishiyama, Tetrahedron Lett. 2008, 49, 110.
