Abstract

Whereas aryl(trialkyl)silanes are considered to be ideal organometallic reagents for cross-coupling reactions owing to their stability, low toxicity, solubility, and easy accessibility, they are generally inert under typical cross-coupling conditions. Disclosed herein is a palladium/copper catalytic system that enables the cross-coupling of trimethyl, triethyl, tert-butyldimethyl, and triisopropyl aryl silanes with aryl bromides. This process is applicable to the sequential C-H and C-Si bond arylation of thiophenes and the synthesis of poly(thiophene-fluorene)s.
