The clean, efficient Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of vinyl, alkynyl and aryl bromides with the air-stable organoborane, 10-trimethylsilylmethyl-9-oxa-10-borabicyclo[3.3.2]decane (2) gives excellent yields of the corresponding silylmethylated products, proceeding with complete retention of configuration in the first case.
