Palladium-catalyzed intermolecular C-H silylation initiated by aminopalladation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Jul 14;56(56):7801-7804. doi: 10.1039/d0cc00872a.

Abstract

A Pd(ii)-catalyzed intermolecular C-H silylation reaction initiated by aminopalladation has been developed. The C-H bonds were activated by an alkyl Pd(ii) species generated through aminopalladation and then disilylated with hexamethyldisilane to form disilylated indolines as the final products. The reaction provides a new method for the introduction of silyl groups into complex organic molecules.
