Abstract
A 1:1 mixture of (Me-4-phen)Pd(Me)Cl [Me-4-phen=3,4,7,8-tetramethyl- 1,10-p henanthroline] and NaBAr4 [Ar=3,5-C6H3(CF3)(2)] catalyzed the cyclization/h ydrosilylation of functionalized 1,6-dienes with dimethylphenylsilane withi n minutes at room temperature to form silylated cyclopentanes in good yield with high trans-selectivity.
