Novel Nickel-Catalyzed Coupling Reaction of Allyl Ethers with Chlorosilanes, Alkyl Tosylates, or Alkyl Halides Promoted by Vinyl-Grignard Reagent Leading to Allylsilanes or Alkenes
method for a carbon-silicon or carbon-carbon bond forming reaction between allyl ethers and chlorosilanes, alkyl tosylates, or alkylhalides giving rise to allylsilanes or alkenes has been developed. This reaction proceeds efficiently at ambient temperature by the combined use of nickel catalysts and a vinyl-Grignard reagent. A possible reaction pathway involving the formation of allyl-Grignard reagents
