A palladium-catalyzed benzylic silylation of diarylmethyl carbonates with silylboranes has been developed. The reaction proceeds smoothly even under external base-free conditions, and the corresponding benzylic silanes are formed in good to high yields. The obtained benzyl silane derivatives can work as the benzylic nucleophiles by the action of a suitable fluoride source and react with some carbon electrophiles to deliver the corresponding benzylic C?C cross-coupled products. Additionally, while still preliminary, the allylic silylation of the isoelectronic allylic carbonates is also achieved.

Copper-catalyzed silylation of aryl allenes using a silylborane reagent affords vinyl silane building blocks with high efficiency. The use of a seven-membered NHC ligand proved crucial for high regioselectivity. The catalytically generated allylcoppper intermediates were intercepted by aldehydes in a diastereoselective three-component coupling to furnish homoallylic alcohols. Seven′s up! The use of a seven-membered N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand proved crucial in exerting high regiocontrol during the development of the first copper-catalyzed silylation of allenes using a commercial silylborane reagent. The process affords privileged vinyl silane building blocks with high efficiency. Allylcopper intermediates can be intercepted by aldehydes in a highly diastereoselective three-component coupling to furnish homoallylic alcohols.
