Selective Cross Coupling via Oxovanadium(V)-Induced Oxidative Desilylation of Benzylic Silanes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(94)80034-0

Benzylic silanes bearing an electron-donating group at the ortho- or para-position underwent the oxovanadium(V)-induced one-electron oxidative desilylation due to low ionization potential, which was applied to the intermolecular regioselective coupling with allylic silanes or silyl enol ether.
