A new selective approach to 1,1-bis(silyl)-2-arylethenes and 1,1-bis(silyl)-1,3-butadienes via sequential silylative coupling-Heck coupling reactions.
A novel selective route to 1,1-bis(silyl)-1-alkenes has been developed. Sequential one-pot silylative coupling exo-cyclization of 1,2-bis(dimethylvinylsiloxy)ethane followed by the reaction with Grignard reagents leads to the desired 1,1-bis(silyl)ethenes, which are then efficiently coupled in the presence of silver nitrate and palladium acetate with aryl or alkenyl idodides to give the corresponding 1,1-bis(silyl)-2-arylethenes or 1,1,4-trisubstituted 1,3-butadienes with high yield.
