Well‐behaved : The ruthenium complex [Cp( i Pr 3 P)Ru(NCCH 3 ) 2 ] + (Cp=cyclopentadienyl) catalyzes monohydrosilylation of nitriles (see scheme) with unprecedented tolerance of most common functional groups. The catalyst is easily synthesized starting from commercially available compounds, is air‐stable, recyclable, and works under solvent‐free conditions.
