Copper(I)-catalysed homocoupling of organosilicon compounds: synthesis of biaryls, dienes and diynes

Abstract

Copper(I) iodide catalyses the homocoupling of aryl-, alkenyl- and alkynyl-substituted chloro- or fluoro-dimethylsilanes under mild conditions to afford biaryls, dienes and diynes, respectively.
