title: Pd(0)-Catalyzed Carbene Insertion into Si-Si and Sn-Sn Bonds.
abstract: The first Pd(0)-catalyzed carbene insertion into Si-Si and Sn-Sn bonds has been realized by using N-tosylhydrazones as the carbene precursors. Geminal bis(silane) and geminal bis(stannane) derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields under mild conditions. Migratory insertion of Pd carbene is supposed to be the key step for the reaction.
