S. Cros et al., ORIGINAL AND RAPID SYNTHESIS OF FUNCTIONA L (METHYLDIETHOXYSILYL) BENZENES, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 468(1-2), 1994, pp. 69-74
In the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)p
alladium(0), the 1,1,2,2-tetraethoxydimethyldisilane reacts with vario
us functional bromoarenes giving the corresponding aryldiethoxymethyls
ilanes in good yields. The creation of Si-C(Ar) bonds involving a poly
alcoxydisilane as the silylating reagent is here reported for the firs
t time.
