Nickel-Catalyzed Regio- and Stereoselective Silylation of Terminal Alkenes with Silacyclobutanes: Facile Access to Vinylsilanes from Alkenes

摘要

We have found the efficient nickel catalyst system for silylation of terminal alkenes with silacyclobutanes. The reaction provides a facile and straightforward access to vinylsilanes from terminal alkenes in a highly regio- and stereoselective fashion. Further studies to improve the catalytic turnover and frequency parameter are currently underway.
