Abstract

We have developed a convenient and efficient approach to the arylation of tertiary silanes under mild conditions. A variety of arylsilanes were synthesized in a one-step process with good to excellent yields in the presence of a rhodium catalyst with a base. The reaction was highly solvent dependent, and amides were the most effective of the various solvents used. This common catalyst system is highly tolerant of the various sensitive functional groups ...
