Nickel/copper-cocatalyzed decarbonylative silylation of acyl fluorides

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Aug 29;55(71):10507-10510. doi: 10.1039/c9cc05325e.

Abstract

Ni/Cu-cocatalyzed decarbonylative silylation of acyl fluorides with silylboranes has been developed to afford various arylsilanes with high efficiency and good functional-group compatibility via carbon-fluorine bond cleavage and carbon-silicon bond formation. Such transformation can not only extend the functionalization type of acyl fluorides but complement the synthetic route for arylsilanes.
