“…Unfortunately, these reactions suffer from low yields, long reaction times, and significant side reactions . Alkylations with primary and aryl nucleophiles are known. , As has been recently noted, the addition of secondary organometallic reagents to silyl electrophiles is rarely effective. , In fact, to our knowledge, over the past 70 years only five isolated examples with secondary nucleophiles have been reported in the chemical literature . This is due to the lack of reactivity or competitive reductive processes with these more sterically demanding and electron-rich nucleophiles.…”
