The first visible-light-mediated photocatalytic, metal- and base-free protodesilylation of arylsilanes is presented. The C(sp2)-Si bond cleavage process is catalyzed by a 5 mol % loading of a commercially available acridinium salt upon blue-light irradiation. Two simple approaches have been identified employing either aerobic or hydrogen atom transfer cocatalytic conditions, which enable the efficient and selective desilylation of a broad variety of simple and complex arylsilanes under mild conditions.

Reaction of aryltrimethylsilanes with xenon difluoride in C 6F6/Pyrex at room temperature gives aryl fluorides in good yield. The reaction is inhibited when acetonitrile is used as solvent but proceeds well in CFCl3/Pyrex or CH 2Cl2/Pyrex. Pyrex appears to be a very effective heterogeneous catalyst for this ipso-fluorination. The reaction does not proceed in PTFE, quartz, soda glass or glassy-carbon flasks or Pyrex flasks pre-rinsed with 2 M NaOH. Aryltrimethylstannanes and arylboronic acids and their esters do not undergo ipso-fluorination under similar conditions. Plausible mechanisms involving electrophilic addition of polarised xenon difluoride [FXeδ+?F→Pyrex δ-] followed by ligand coupling are discussed.
