Clean conversion of conjugated alkenes with exclusive formation of one regioisomer is achieved by using a new class of hydrosilylation catalysts based on early main‐group metals (Ca, Sr, and K). The regioselectivity can be switched to the other isomer through the choice of the metal and solvent polarity.
