Copper-promoted difunctionalization of unactivated alkenes with silanes

Abstract

An efficient copper-catalyzed cascade difunctionalization of N-allyl anilines toward the synthesis of silylated indolines using commercially available silanes has been reported. This strategy provides a new avenue for the synthesis...

Silylation and (Hetero)aryl/alkenylation of Unactivated Alkenes via Radical-Mediated Distal 1,4-Migration with Hydrosilanes under Organophotocatalysis

“…Among them, the hydrosilylation of alkenes represents an atom-economic strategy to produce alkylsilanes . The hydrosilylation of alkenes with hydrosilanes has been devoloped through various metal catalyses to form C–Si bonds (Scheme a) . Another manner of hydrosilylation of alkenes with hydrosilanes used Lewis acids as catalysts, which shows good reactivity and selectivity toward electron-rich alkenes (Scheme b) .…”
