Silylmethyl functionalization provides a general and efficient access to diverse organosilanes. The traditional methods for silylmethyl functionalization often involved silylmethylmetals or silylmethylhalides. In recent years, a C-H activation strategy has become one of the most attractive alternatives in organic synthesis. We envisioned that the attachment of a coordinating group at silicon of methylsilanes provides the opportunity to modify the silylmethyl group via directed C-H bond functionalization. However, despite employment of silicon tethers bearing a directing group (DG) for C(sp2)-H functionalization has been well established due to the fact that the silicon tethers are easily installable and removable/modifiable, applying this concept toward C(sp3)-H functionalization remains underdeveloped. Herein, we successfully develop IrIII/RhIII-catalyzed C-H bond arylation/amidation of silyl methyl group by using directing group strategy, which constitutes the most powerful access to benzylsilanes and amino-substituted silanes. Moreover, we demonstrated that the pyridine directing group on silicon atom can be easily removed, and the starting materials can also be efficiently recovered, which are different from those of pyridine-directed C-H functionalization of C-bound methyl group.
