Abstract
Bismetalated alkenes, accessible by element–element addition to alkynes, are valuable
building blocks in organic synthesis, providing wide opportunities for divergent synthesis.
Silaboration of alkynes with a pendant olefinic group, catalyzed by group 10 metal
complexes, and subsequent transformation of the silicon and boron functional groups
give access to densely functionalized 1,3-dienes and 1,3,5-trienes with defined stereo-
and regiochemistry, 1,2-dienes, and carbocyclic and heterocyclic products.
