title: Cross-Coupling Reactions of Hypervalent Siloxane Derivatives: An Alternative to Stille and Suzuki Couplings.
abstract: Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of phenyl, vinyl, and allyl siloxane derivatives proceeded in good to excellent yield with aryl iodides, electron-deficient aryl bromides, and allylic benzoates. Methyl and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl siloxane derivatives can be employed in the coupling reaction. Electron-donating and -withdrawing groups are tolerated on the aryl halide without affecting the coupling. The scope and limitations of this alternative to Stille and Suzuki couplings is outlined.
