1. General information

a. Materials

All manipulations were carried out using standard Schlenk, high-vacuum and glovebox techniques. Toluene

and p-xylene were dried with Na and distilled under argon. n-Hexane was dried with CaH2 and distilled under

argon. Alkanes were dried with Na, vacuum transferred, and stored under argon. t-Butylethylene (TBE) was

purchased from TCI, and dried with LiAlH4, vacuum transferred, and stored under argon. (Me3SiO)2MeSiH

(MD’M) and Et2SiH2 were purchased from TCI. Both silanes were dried with CaH2, and distilled under argon.

Pinacolborane (HBPin) was purchased from TCI and purified according to the reported procedure1. Other

reagents were purchased from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. (PSCOP)IrHCl (1)2,

(PNN)FeCl2 (2a)3, (iPrPDI)FeBr2 (2b)4, (EtPDI)FeBr2 (2c)5 and (MePDI)FeBr2 (2d)4 were prepared as previously

reported.

b. Analytical methods

NMR spectra were recorded on Varian 300 or 400 MHz spectrometers and Agilent 400 MHz spectrometers

at ambient temperature. The residual peak of deuterated solvent was used as a reference for 1H and 13C

chemical shifts. GC analysis was acquired on Agilent 7820A gas chromatograph equipped with a

flame-ionization detector. GC-MS analysis was performed on Agilent 7890A gas chromatograph coupled to an

Agilent 5975C inert mass selective detector. High resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS) was performed by

the Analytical Laboratory of Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (CAS).

2. Procedures for Table 1

Entry 1: In an argon-filled glovebox, a vial (10 mL) was charged with (PSCOP)IrHCl (1) (0.5 mol%),

NaBHEt3 (1.0 mol%), n-hexane (1.0 mL), trans-3-octene (0.2 mmol), MD’M (0.2 mmol). The reaction

mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. After that, the reaction was quenched by exposing the

solution to air. Mesitylene (10 µL) was then added as internal standard. An aliquot was removed from the vial

and analyzed by GC. Primary octylsilane 6a was not detected by GC, and two branched octylsilanes resulting

from the hydrosilylation of trans-3-octene (6% yield) were detected.

Entries 2-5: In an argon-filled glovebox, a vial (10 mL) was charged with Fe-precatalyst (2a, 2b, 2c or 2d,

5.0 mol%), n-hexane (1.0 mL), trans-3-octene (0.2 mmol), MD’M (0.2 mmol), NaBHEt3 (10.0 mol%). The

reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 12 h. After that, the reaction was quenched by exposing the

solution to air. Mesitylene (10 µL) was then added as internal standard. An aliquot was removed from the vial

and analyzed by GC.

Entries 6-7: In an argon-filled glovebox, a vial (10 mL) was charged with (PSCOP)IrHCl (1) (0.5 mol%),

Fe-precatalyst (2c or 2d, 5.0 mol%), n-hexane (1.0 mL), trans-3-octene (0.2 mmol), MD’M (0.2 mmol),

NaBHEt3 (11.0 mol%). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. After that, the reaction

was quenched by exposing the solution to air. Mesitylene (10 µL) was then added as internal standard. An

aliquot was removed from the vial and analyzed by GC.

The effect of diene on Fe-catalyzed olefin isomerisation-hydrosilylation

In an argon-filled glovebox, a vial (10 mL) was charged with (PSCOP)IrHCl (1) (0.5 mol%), Fe-precatalyst

2c (5.0 mol%), p-xylene (1.0 mL),   (E)-deca-1,3-diene (27 mol%), trans-3-octene (0.2 mmol), MD’M (0.2

mmol), NaBHEt3 (11.0 mol%). The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h at room temperature. After that, the

reaction was quenched by exposing the solution to air, and mesitylene (10 µL) was added as internal standard.

An aliquot was removed from the vial and analyzed by GC and GC-MS, which showed the reaction did not

form any detectable alkylsilanes. The results suggest that dienes can inhibit Fe-catalyzed olefin

isomerization-hydrosilylation, presumably through chelation on the iron center.

3. General procedures for Table 2

Reactions in neat alkanes (entries 1-5 and entries 12-15): In an argon-filled glovebox, a thick-wall

Kontes flask (10 mL) was charged with (PSCOP)IrHCl (1) (1.0 mol%), NaOtBu (1.2 mol%), alkane (2.0 mL)

and TBE (0.50 mmol). The flask was sealed with a Teflon plug under an argon atmosphere, and the solution

stirred in a 200 °C oil bath for allotted time. After that, the flask was cooled to room temperature, and

(EtPDI)FeBr2 (2c) (10.0 mol%), MD’M or Et2SiH2 (0.50 mmol), NaBHEt3 (20.0 mol%) were added to the

solution in an argon-filled glovebox. The flask was then sealed with a Teflon plug under an argon atmosphere,

and the solution continued to stir for 12 h at room temperature. The reaction was then quenched by exposing

the solution to air, and mesitylene (20 µL) was then added as internal standard. An aliquot was removed from

the vial and analyzed by GC. Elution of the resulting solution through a silica gel plug with n-hexane afforded

the crude products, which typically include the desired product, the side-product resulting from hydrosilylation

of unreacted t-butylethylene (TBE), and the unreacted alkane substrate. The crude products were further

purified by removal of the side-product and unreacted substrate by evaporation under reduced pressure to

afford the pure alkane silylation product.

Reactions in p-xylene (entries 6-11, and 16): In an argon-filled glovebox, a thick-wall Kontes flask (10

mL) was charged with (PSCOP)IrHCl (1) (1.0 mol%), NaOtBu (1.2 mol%), p-xylene (2.0 mL), alkane [1.5

4. Procedures for Table 3

Entries 1-4: In an argon-filled glovebox, a thick-wall Kontes flask (10 mL) was charged with

(PSCOP)IrHCl (1) (1.0 mol%), NaOtBu (1.2 mol%), alkane (1.0 mL) and TBE (0.25 mmol). The flask was

sealed with a Teflon plug under an argon atmosphere, and the solution was stirred in a 200 °C oil bath for

allotted time. After that, the flask was cooled to room temperature, and (PNN)FeCl2 (2a) (10.0 mol%), HBPin

(0.25 mmol), NaBHEt3 (20.0 mol%) were then added to the solution in an argon-filled glovebox. The flask was

then sealed with a Teflon plug under an argon atmosphere, and the solution continued to stir for 12 h at room

temperature. The reaction was then quenched by exposing the solution to air, and mesitylene (10 µL) was then

added as internal standard. An aliquot was removed from the vial and analyzed by GC.

Entries 5 and 7: In an argon-filled glovebox, a thick-wall Kontes flask (10 mL) was charged with

(PSCOP)IrHCl (1) (1.0 mol%), NaOtBu (1.2 mol%), p-xylene (1.0 mL), alkane (0.75 mmol) and TBE (0.25

mmol). The flask was sealed with a Teflon plug under an argon atmosphere, and the solution was stirred in a

200 °C oil bath for allotted time. After that, the flask was cooled to room temperature, and (PNN)FeCl2 (2a)

(10.0 mol%), HBPin (0.25 mmol), NaBHEt3 (20.0 mol%) were added to the solution in an argon-filled

glovebox. The flask was then sealed with a Teflon plug under an argon atmosphere, and the solution continued

to stir for 12 h at room temperature. The reaction was then quenched by exposing the solution to air, and

mesitylene (10 µL) was then added as internal standard. An aliquot was removed from the vial and analyzed

(1) (1.0 mol%), NaOtBu (1.2 mol%), p-xylene (1.0 mL), 2,4-dimethylhexane (1.25 mmol) and TBE (0.25

mmol). The flask was sealed with a Teflon plug under an argon atmosphere, and the solution was stirred in a

200 °C oil bath for allotted time. After that, the flask was cooled to room temperature, and (PNN)FeCl2 (2a)

(10.0 mol%), HBPin (0.25 mmol), NaBHEt3 (20.0 mol%) were added to the solution in an argon-filled

glovebox. The flask was then sealed with a Teflon plug under an argon atmosphere, and the solution continued

to stir for 12 h at room temperature. The reaction was then quenched by exposing the solution to air, and

mesitylene (10 µL) was then added as internal standard. An aliquot was removed from the vial and analyzed

by GC.

5. General procedures for preparation of the standard alkylboronates (for measurements of

their GC response factors relative to mesitylene)

In an argon-filled glovebox, a vial (10 mL) was charged with (PNN)FeCl2 (2a) (0.5 mol%), n-hexane or

toluene (1.0 mL), HBPin (0.5 mmol), α-olefin (0.5 mmol), NaBHEt3 (1.0 mol%). The reaction mixture was

stirred for 2 h at room temperature. Then the reaction was quenched by exposing the solution to air. The

resulting solution was concentrated under vacuum and the residue was purified by elution through a silica gel

plug with n-hexane and ethyl acetate.
