“…A review published in 2016 summarized the more recent progress in this area, [4] and a 2020 review provided more recent examples, including those using vinyl silanes, as well as other metal catalysts and ligands, and application of microwave. [5] Despite a wealth of literature on the efficacy of arenediazonium salts in metal-mediated cross-coupling, [6] there have been little reported work on the use of arenediazonium salts, and aryltriazenes as masked diazoniums, in the Hiyama cross-coupling, [7] and only few studies on the use of ILs in the Hiyama coupling have been reported. [8] In previous studies, we demonstrated the potential of aryldiazonium salts and aryltriazenes as coupling partners in the Suzuki, Heck, and Sonogashira reactions, employing ionic liquids (ILs) as solvents, in combination with acidic or basic ILs as promoters and catalysts, generating diverse libraries of small molecule building blocks.…”
