title: Rhodium-catalysed intramolecular trans-bis-silylation of alkynes to synthesise 3-silyl-1-benzosiloles.
abstract: Intramolecular addition of a Si-Si bond across a C-C triple bond occurs in a trans fashion in the presence of rhodium(I) catalysts. The trans-bis-silylation reaction of (2-alkynylphenyl)disilanes affords 3-silyl-1-benzosiloles.
