Abstract

C–O activation and its application have drawn much attention since oxygen-based electrophiles are easily available, less toxic, and more environmentally benign. This letter presents systematically results on the Ni-catalyzed Kumada–Tamao–Corriu coupling based on siloxy arenes/alkenes, which provides a new strategy of silyl protection/C–C bond formation sequence in organic synthesis.
