title: Phosphazene base-promoted functionalization of aryltrimethylsilanes.
abstract: The activation of Ar-Si bonds in aryltrimethylsilane was investigated using a catalytic amount of t-Bu-P4 base and selective functionalizations of aryltrimethylsilanes in the absence of strong electron withdrawing groups on the aromatic rings were accomplished.
