Transition metal-catalyzed silylation reactions have been useful methods for synthesis of small organosilicon compounds and large molecular weight materials. We have been recently developed several mechanistically intriguing transition metal-catalyzed alkene hydrosilylation and dehydrogenative silylation, as well as C–H and C–C bond silylation reactions to synthesize diverse organosilanes and organosilanols. In detail, ligand-controlled, regio- and stereoselective hydrogenative and dehydrogenative alkene-silane couplings exploiting rhodium and ruthenium alkylidene catalysts will be discussed.  In addition, the progress toward design and application of single-pot, catalytic reductive C–H and C–C s-bond silylations with silyl acetals, as traceless directing groups, for synthesis of a new class of organosilanes will be presented.
