Abstract The selective synthesis of linear silanes from internal alkenes or alkene mixtures is reported. Unsaturated 16 electrons hydrido–silyl–Rh III complexes are efficient catalysts for a tandem catalytic alkene isomerization–hydrosilylation reaction at room temperature under solvent‐free conditions. Such a process would be of value to the chemical industry, as mixtures of internal aliphatic olefins are substantially cheaper and more readily available than the pure terminal isomers.
