Abstract
Alkenyldimethyl (2-thienyl) silanes underwent the cross-coupling reaction with organic halides mediated by tetrabutylammonium fluoride and a palladium catalyst under extremely mild conditions to afford alkenyl-coupled products in good to excellent yields. Starting from 1, 2-bissilylated alkenes, 1, 2-disubstituted olefins were also synthesized and successfully applied to the cross-coupling reaction.
