Abstract

A cascade-transmetallation sequence allows a one-pot conversion of arylsilanes into functionalized arylcoppers; they react with various types of electrophiles (allylic halides, acid chlorides, bromoalkynes); bimetallic zinc–copper-reagents can be prepared by this method either directly or in a sequential fashion.
