Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling by Intramolecular Activation of Trialkylsilanes

Significance

Herein, the authors report that 2-(2-hydroxyprop-2-yl)phenyl-substituted alkyl­silanes selectively transfer an alkyl group to aryl and heteroaryl chlorides and bromides under palladium catalysis. Primary and secondary alkyl chains can be cross-coupled affording the alkylated products in very good yields.
