In one embodiment of the present invention, a silicon-based cross-coupling reagent is disclosed which is a highly stable tetraorganosilicon compound allowing for a cross-coupling reaction under mild reaction conditions without using fluoride ions, transition metal promoter, or strong bases, and the residue of the silicon reagent can be recovered and reused. The silicon-based cross-coupling reagent is a silicon compound in which an o-hydroxymethylphenyl group is connected to a silicon atom for intramolecular activation.

Highly stable alkenyl[2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]dimethylsilanes are prepared by stereo- and regioselective hydrosilylation of alkynes catalyzed either by a platinum or ruthenium catalyst using protected [2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]dimethylsilanes. Cyclic silyl ether, 1,1-dimethyl-2-oxa-1-silaindan, also serves as a starting material for the alkenylsilanes by the ring-opening reaction with alkenyl Grignard reagents. The resulting alkenylsilanes undergo cross-coupling reaction with various aryl and alkenyl iodides under reaction conditions employing K2CO3 as a base at 35-50 °C in highly regio- and stereospecific manners. The reaction tolerates a diverse range of functional groups including silyl protections. The silicon residue is readily recovered and reused on a gram-scale synthesis. Intramolecular coordination of a proximal hydroxyl group is considered to efficiently form pentacoordinate silicates having a transferable group possibly at an axial position and, thus, responsible for the cross-coupling reaction under conditions significantly milder than those reported for the silicon-based reactions.
