A convenient and clean synthetic method for borasiloxanes by Pd-catalysed reaction of silanols with diborons

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 May 30;53(43):5822-5825. doi: 10.1039/c7cc02420g.

Abstract

Selective O-borylation of silanols with diborons took place in the presence of Pd catalysts to give the corresponding boryl silyl ethers in high yields.
