Silylation of aryl bromides with disilanes of type {[2-(PGOCH2)C6H4]Me2Si}2 (PG: protecting group) successfully takes place in the presence of a Pd/Ruphos or Davephos/CuI catalytic system to afford HOMSi reagents containing various functional groups in good yields. BisHOMSi reagents were also prepared directly from the corresponding arylene dibromides.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
