REDUCTIVE SPLITTING OF AROMATIC CONNECTIONS C-O, C-N AND C-S BY ACTIVATED SILANES WITHOUT TRANSITION METALS

摘要

The present disclosure describes methods for silylating aromatic organic substrates, and associated chemical systems, said methods comprising or consisting essentially of contacting the aromatic organic substrate with a mixture of (a) at least one organosilane and (b) at least one strong base, under conditions sufficient to silylate the aromatic substrate.
