Cross‐dehydrogenativecoupling of various terminalalkynes and monohydrosilanes efficiently proceeded in the presence of gold supported on OMS‐2 (Au/OMS‐2) using O2 as a terminal oxidant, affording the corresponding alkynylsilanes in moderate to high yields (see picture). The observed catalysis was truly heterogeneous, and the catalyst could be reused at least ten times without a significant loss of

cross-coupling of nonactivated secondary alkylbromides and iodides with alkynyl Grignardreagents at room temperature has been developed. A wide range of secondary alkyl halides and terminal alkynes are tolerated to afford the substituted alkynes in good yields. A slight modification of the reaction protocol also allows for cross-coupling with a variety of primary alkyl halides.
However, the typical inertness of unactivated Si-C(sp3) bondsunder conventional reaction conditions has hampered the application of simple tetraalkylsilanes in organic synthesis. Herein we report the chemoselective cleavage of Si-C(sp3) bonds of unactivated tetraalkylsilanes using iodine tris(trifluoroacetate). The reaction proceeds smoothly undermildconditions (-50 °C to room temperature) and tolerates
