The [RuHCl(CO)(PCy3)2]-catalyzed N-silylation of primary and secondary amines with substituted vinylsilanes leads to the formation of a Si–N bond with the evolution of olefin.
Metal-catalyzed alkylation of 1,1-dihalovinyl moiety commonly suffers from both a lack of stereoselectivity and the overreaction leading to the dialkylation product. The methodology described herein features a new pathway to alkylate stereoselectively β,β-dichlorostyryl substrates to provide the Z-trisubstituted olefin only with fair to good yields. This cross-coupling reaction bears on the smooth
