More Details:


Triallyl(aryl)silanes, stable and easily accessible arylsilanes, were found to react with aryl bromides in the presence of a palladium catalyst (PdCl2–PCy3) and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) in good yields. The scope of the reaction is broad, and a wide variety of functional groups are tolerant. Allyl groups on Si are readily cleaved upon treatment with TBAF to form fluorosilanes, silanepolyols, siloxanes and/or their mixed forms, which might be responsible for high efficiency of the reaction.
