Thin gold films on the surface of glass capillaries have proven to be highly active catalysts for the rapid hydrosilylation of alkynes that are flowed through the reactor while being heated by microwave irradiation. The films are able to be reused at least five times with no loss of activity and with no detectable levels of gold showing up in the hydrosilylated products.
