D. Alvisi et al., REGIOCHEMICAL AND STEREOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF THE PALLADIUM-CATALYZED DESILYLATION-ARYLATION OF SUBSTITUTED VINYLSILANES, Journal of organic chemistry, 61(20), 1996, pp. 7139-7146
The palladium-catalyzed desilylation-arylation of substituted vinylsil
anes by p-iodoanisole in the presence of bidentate phosphine ligands i
s described. Apart from enhancing the rate of the reaction considerabl
y, heteroatom-based functional groups in the vinylsilane moiety have a
profound influence on the regiochemistry. A catalytic cycle for the c
helation-controlled desilylation-arylation reaction involving five- an
d six-membered chelate rings is proposed.
