Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed arylation of hydrosiloxanes was developed for the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical siloxanes. Reactive functional moieties such as hydroxy or cyano groups were able to tolerate the reaction conditions and several novel unsymmetrical siloxanes were synthesized in moderate to high yield.
