Iridium-catalyzed intermolecular directed dehydrogenative ortho C–H silylation†
Abstract
An efficient method for iridium-catalyzed direct silylation of C(sp2)–H and C(sp3)–H bonds using HSiMe(OSiMe3)2 as the silylating reagent is described. The reaction is amenable to various directing groups under simple and mild conditions leading to the mono- and regioselective synthesis of versatile organosilane compounds.
