title: 1,5-Migration of rhodium via C-H bond activation in catalytic decyanative silylation of nitriles.
abstract: Unprecedented aryl-to-aryl 1,5-rhodium migration is involved in decyanative silylation of aryl cyanides bearing a tethered arene. The 1,5-migration proceeds through remote C-H bond activation. 1,5-Migration also occurs in other rhodium-catalyzed reactions, including borylation and oxidative Mizoroki-Heck reactions.
