Preparation of vinyl silyl ethers and disiloxanes via the silyl-Heck reaction of silyl ditriflates.

ABSTRACT: Vinyl silyl ethers and disiloxanes can now be prepared from aryl-substituted alkenes and related substrates using a silyl-Heck reaction. The reaction employs a commercially available catalyst system and mild conditions. This work represents a highly practical means of accessing diverse classes of vinyl silyl ether substrates in an efficient and direct manner with complete regiomeric and geometric selectivity.
