Abstract

Silylstannylation of alkynes and allenes has been found to proceed by three-component coupling using a silylborane and a tin alkoxide in the presence of a Cu(I) catalyst. The regioselectivities are completely inverse to those of the conventional silylstannylation under palladium catalysis.
