71. A recent report noted that the activation barrier for CuH regeneration in the hydrosilylation of ketones correlated with the hydride character of the silane employed, which followed a trend similar to what we found with testing various silanes in the CuH-catalyzed hydroamination of styrene, see: Vergote, T.; Nahra, F.; Merschaert, A.; Riant, O.; Peeters, D.; Leyssens, T.
