title: Palladium-catalyzed silylation reaction between benzylic halides and silylboronate.
abstract: An efficient Pd-catalyzed silylation reaction of benzylic halides with silylboronate is reported. In this reaction, primary and secondary benzylic halides could react well with silylboronates to afford benzylic silanes. This reaction accommodates a broad substrate scope and proceeds smoothly under very mild reaction conditions. The corresponding products could be obtained in moderate to high yields and with stereospecificity.
