Copper-catalyzed silylation of p-quinone methides: new entry to dibenzylic silanes.

ABSTRACT: An efficient and general copper(I)-catalyzed silylation of p-quinone-methides is described. Non-symmetric dibenzylic silanes are obtained in high yields under mild reaction conditions. These compounds can be used as bench-stable benzylic carbanion precursors.
