Nickel-Catalyzed Reaction of Aryl 2-Pyridyl Ethers with Silylzinc Chlorides: Silylation of Aryl 2-Pyridyl Ethers via Cleavage of the Carbon?Oxygen Bond

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/adsc.201900949

Ni-catalyzed C?O(Py) bond activation and silylation of aryl 2-pyridyl ethers with silylzinc chlorides were carried out. This protocol allowed the 2-pyridyloxy group to be substituted by a silyl group with short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, and good compatibility of functional groups. (Figure presented.).
