Abstract

Triorganosilanes, which possess two aryl groups on the silicon atom, undergo palladium-catalyzed silylation of aryl iodides. Aryl(2-furyl)silanes thus obtained are potentially useful starting materials for carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions in the presence of transition-metal catalysts and tetrabutylammonium fluo­ride.

Cross-coupling of aryltri(2-furyl)germanes with aryl halides has been reported, see ref. 3.

To some extent a plausible mechanism can be derived from that proposed by us for triethoxysilane (see ref. 2a); however, the role of KI (Table [2] , entries 9-12) is not easily interpreted.
