title: Radical-mediated silyl- and germyldesulfonylation of vinyl and (alpha-fluoro)vinyl sulfones: application of tris(trimethylsilyl)silanes and tris(trimethylsilyl)germanes in Pd-catalyzed couplings.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Radical-mediated silyl- and germyldesulfonylations of various vinyl and (alpha-fluoro)vinyl sulfones with tris(trimethylsilyl)silane and germanium hydrides provide access to vinyl and (alpha-fluoro)vinyl silanes and germanes. Upon oxidative treatment with hydrogen peroxide in basic aqueous solution, the vinyl tris(trimethylsilyl)silanes and -germanes undergo Pd-catalyzed cross-couplings with aryl halides.
