title: Rhodium acetate/base-catalyzed N-silylation of indole derivatives with hydrosilanes.
abstract: In the presence of Rh(2)(OAc)(4) (OAc = acetate) and TBA(2)WO(4) (TBA = tetra-n-butylammonium), the N-silylation of indole derivatives with hydrosilanes efficiently proceeded to give the corresponding N-silylated indoles in high yields. Pyrrole and carbazole were also N-silylated with the combined catalysts.
