Nickel/Photoredox Dual‐Catalyzed Migratory Reductive C( <i>sp</i> <sup>2</sup> )–H/Si–Cl Cross‐Coupling

ABSTRACT Organosilicon compounds have been extensively utilized in both industry and academia. Transition metal‐catalyzed migratory cross‐coupling involving 1, n ‐metal migration allows functionalization of C−H bonds on a remote site that are otherwise difficult to achieve. However, until now, forging C−Si bond via migratory cross‐coupling seems to have not been presented. Herein, we report a nickel/photoredox dual‐catalyzed migratory cross‐coupling that enables the first formal remote C( sp 2 )–H silylation with chlorosilanes, thus achieving site‐selective ipso / ortho ‐difunctionalization of readily available aryl bromides. The protocol proceeds under visible‐light irradiation without stoichiometric metallic reductants and delivers a broad array of multisubstituted arylsilanes with excellent chemo‐, regio‐, and E / Z ‐selectivity. The synthetic utility of the method is further demonstrated through diverse downstream transformations and the preparation of silicon‐containing polymers, highlighting its potential in complex molecule synthesis and materials chemistry.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Organosilicon compounds have been extensively utilized in both industry and academia. Transition metal‐catalyzed migratory cross‐coupling involving 1, n ‐metal migration allows functionalization of C−H bonds on a remote site that are otherwise difficult to achieve. However, until now, forging C−Si bond via migratory cross‐coupling seems to have not been presented. Herein, we report a nickel/photoredox dual‐catalyzed migratory cross‐coupling that enables the first formal remote C( sp 2 )–H silylation with chlorosilanes, thus achieving site‐selective ipso / ortho ‐difunctionalization of readily available aryl bromides. The protocol proceeds under visible‐light irradiation without stoichiometric metallic reductants and delivers a broad array of multisubstituted arylsilanes with excellent chemo‐, regio‐, and E / Z ‐selectivity. The synthetic utility of the method is further demonstrated through diverse downstream transformations and the preparation of silicon‐containing polymers, highlighting its potential in complex molecule synthesis and materials chemistry.
