Org Lett. 2022 Jul 22;24(28):5181-5185. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.2c02015. Epub 2022 Jul 13.

Abstract

We describe meta-selective C-H functionalization of arylsilanes using a Si-tethered directing group. The current method enables a selective alkenylation of arenes bearing a variety of functional groups, and several electron-deficient olefins are also applicable as coupling partners. Further functional group transformations of the silicon-tethered directing group provide multisubstituted arenes efficiently.
