Aryl halosilanes and their hypervalent derivatives are versatile reagents for carbon–carbon [1–2] and carbon–heteroatom [3] bond formation in modern organic synthesis. Although they have been prepared by arylation of halosilanes with aryl magnesium or aryl lithium reagents,[4] and by Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of halogenated disilanes with aryl electrophiles,[5] direct silylation of arenes through CÀH bond activation would provide a more attractive route from the viewpoints of economy, efficiency, and environmental benignity. Indeed, aromatic CÀH silylation by disilanes [6] or hydrosilanes [6a, 7] catalyzed by a transition-metal complex has been developed by several research groups. However, the application of this protocol has been limited to the synthesis of aryl triorganosilanes. On the other hand, we recently found that IrI complexes generated from 1/2 [{IrCl (cod)} 2](cod= 1, 5-cyclooctadiene) or 1/2 [{Ir (OMe)(cod)} 2] and 2, 2’-bipyridine (bpy) or 4, 4’-di-tert-butyl-2, 2’-bipyridine (dtbpy) are excellent catalysts for aromatic CÀH borylation by bis (pinacolato) diboron.[8] These results prompted us to extend the methodology to the aromatic CÀH silylation of arenes (2) by 1, 2-ditert-butyl-1, 1, 2, 2-tetrafluorodisilane (tBuF2Si) 2 (1) in the presence of a 1/2 [{Ir (OMe)(cod)} 2]-dtbpy catalyst. This process enables, for the first time, the direct synthesis of aryl halosilanes (3) through aromatic CÀH bond activation (Scheme 1).Our initial investigation focused on the effects of substituents on the disilanes on the reaction. The reactions were carried out at 808C for 16 h in a resealable Schlenk tube by using disilanes (1.0 mmol), benzene (60 mmol),[{Ir (OMe)-(cod)} 2](0.015 mmol), and dtbpy (0.03 mmol). Among the disilanes examined, 1 exhibited the highest reactivity to produce the corresponding phenylsilane in 28% yield with 28% conversion of 1. The use of tetrafluorodisilanes is critical as (Me2FSi) 2 gave the corresponding arylsilane in 9% yield, and (tBuCl2Si) 2 or (Me3Si) 2 led to no reaction. The structures of alkyl substituents also had significant effects on silylation. For example,(sBuF2Si) 2 and (nBuF2Si) 2 formed no silylated product.
