Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Cross-Coupling of Alkyl Bromides and Chlorosilanes
Mimi Xing, Huanhuan Cui, Chun Zhang
Abstract
A novel nickel-catalyzed highly selective reductive cross-coupling of alkyl bromides and chlorosilanes to construct the C-Si bond has been developed. Under benign reaction conditions, a series of structurally interesting organosilanes can be accessed without Ni-catalyzed isomerization. The utility of this chemistry is illustrated by further transformations of the product. Moreover, the radical mechanism of the reaction is illustrated by control experiments.
