Palladium-catalyzed disilylation of ortho-halophenylethylenes enabled by 2-pyridone ligand

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 May 11;59(39):5922-5925. doi: 10.1039/d3cc01452e.

Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed disilylation reaction applicable for a variety of non-, α-, or β-substituted and α,β-disubstituted ortho-halophenylethylenes has been developed. This reaction proceeds with high yields and very low catalyst loadings. The two C-Si bonds of the disilylated products could be well-differentiated chemoselectively in the reaction with various electrophiles.
