Abstract

A nickel complex/Lewis acid combination effectively catalyzed the direct silyl-Heck reaction of chlorosilanes, which are key raw materials in the organosilicon industry, to give synthetically important alkenylsilane products. Trichlorosilanes, dichlorosilanes, and monochlorosilanes underwent the silyl-Heck reaction to afford the corresponding alkenylsilanes in high yields. In the reactions of dichlorosilanes, a single substitution occurred to give monoalkenylsilanes in a highly selective manner.
