We report an efficient synthetic approach for well-designed organic-bridged alkoxysilanes, which allow the formation of highly functional organosilica hybrids under mild sol–gel conditions. A series of molecular building blocks containing a triisopropoxysilyl group were synthesized and used in cross-coupling reactions. The triisopropoxysilyl group showed a good tolerance for various organic transformations. 1, 4-Diketo-3, 6-dithienylpyrrolo [3, 4-c ...
