Copper-catalyzed silylation of cyclopropenes using (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane.
A variety of cyclopropenes undergo direct silylation using (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane in the presence of a copper-bisphosphine catalyst; under these conditions, cyclopropenes that might otherwise undergo ring-opening are silylated efficiently.
