We report an exceptional XEC approach that employs manganese as a reductant to achieve efficient silylation of alkynyl halides.
An unprecedent and chemoselective Si–C(sp3) bond-forming cross-coupling silylation of benzyl halides with hydrosilanes has been established by palladium catalysis and B(C6F5)3 for the facile synthesis of functional benzyl silanes with good yields.
A nickel-catalyzed selective alkynylamination of unactivated alkenes to access the corresponding homopropargyl amines have been developed. This protocol offers a range of alkylamine sources, including secondary and less sterically hindered primary amines.
Copper-catalyzed 1,1,1-trisilylation of alkynes was developed with Cu(OAc)2 and PnBu3. Mechanistic studies reveal that this reaction occurs through sequential dehydrogenative silylation of alkynes and dihydrosilylation of alkynylsilane intermediates.
Nascent developments in the main group element-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkenes and alkynes.
