Undirected Dehydrogenative Silylation of Aromatic C-H Bond

Abstract

Arylsilanes are valuable intermediates for synthesis of various compounds, such as biaryls, by simple transformations. For synthesis of arylsilanes, direct C-H/Si-H coupling reaction is an attractive strategy from the both viewpoints of cost efficiency and environmental friendliness. This review described recent achievement of intermolecular dehydrogenative C-H silylation of undirected aromatic compounds.
