When dimethyl(phenyl)silanol is subjected to an electron-deficient ole
fin in the presence olf a stoichiometric amount of Pd(OAc)(2), substit
ution of the C-H bond of the olefin by a phenyl group on the silanol o
ccurs in 52-86% yields. The reactions of several aryl- and alkenylsila
nols with several olefins are also found to proceed in the system of 1
0 mol% of Pd(OAc)(2), Cu(OAc)(2) (3 mol), LiOAc (2 mol) to give the co
rresponding products in up to 69% yield. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd
