Abstract

Abstract Bromosilanes were prepared conveniently and efficiently via the reaction of hydrosilanes and Br 3 CCOOEt in the presence of a catalytic amount of PdCl 2 in refluxing THF over 15 min in high yields. The developed methodology was further applied for the one- pot synthesis of silyl ethers and silyl esters in excellent yields.
