Recent Progress in the Cross-Coupling Reaction Using Triorgano­silyl-Type Reagents

Abstract

The silicon-based cross-coupling reaction has attracted much attention over recent decades because there are many advantages in using organosilicon compounds. However, the use of reagents with a triorganosilyl group as a key function remains to be established. This account summarizes our recent progress in cross-coupling chemistry with such silyl reagents.1 Introduction2 Preparation of HOMSi Reagents from Aryl Bromides and Disilanes3 HOMSi Reagents from Heteroaromatics and Hydrosilanes4 Cross-Coupling Polymerization with HOMSi Reagents5 Cross-Coupling with Aryl(triethyl)silanes6 Amination of Aryl Halides with N-TMS-Amines7 Conclusion and Perspective
