Abstract
A novel strategy was developed to generate silyl radicals from silylboronic pinacol esters (SPEs) through nucleohomolytic substitution of boron with aminyl radicals. We successfully applied this strategy to obtain diverse organosilicon compounds using SPEs and N -nitrosamines under photoirradiation without any catalyst. The ability to access silyl radicals offers a new perspective for chemists to rapidly construct Si–X bonds.
