The palladium-catalyzed, cross-coupling reactions of organosilicon compounds to organic halides has, over the past decade, emerged as a viable alternative to the well-established and versatile Stille-Migita-Kosugi coupling of organostannanes1 and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of organoboranes. 2 Pioneering studies by Kumada and Hiyama3 have shown that activation of organofunctional silicon compounds is possible by addition of a fluoride source to promote the palladium-catalyzed, cross-coupling reactions to various organic halides. Since this discovery, chloro-and fluoroorganosilanes and orthosiliconates4 have been successfully employed in cross-coupling reactions. Recent disclosures from these laboratories (Scheme 1) have demonstrated the synthetic potential of silacyclobutanes, 5a-c silanols, 5d, e silyl hydrides, 5e and cyclic silyl ethers5f for extremely mild cross-coupling reactions which employ tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF ‚3H2O) as the activator.Although significant progress has been made in advancing the structural versatility of organosilicon cross-coupling, one serious limitation is the use of a fluoride source as the promoter. The need for this agent precludes employment of this reaction in, for example, complex molecule synthesis where either of the coupling substrates contains silyl protective groups. Moreover, TBAF is not inexpensive6a and it also makes reaction workup cumbersome on a large scale. Herein we report our successful efforts toward the development of a non-fluoride-activated, organosilicon crosscoupling using inexpensive commercially available reagents. 7 Our discovery that all of the organofunctional silane precursors converge to a common silanol intermediate in the presence of TBAF ‚3H2O illuminated the crucial role played by the hydroxyl group on silicon. 8 An intriguing proposal for the facility of this silicon-based cross-coupling is the formation of a silicon-
