Terminal Vinyl Silanes – Heck<br />
Coupling<br />
Non-alkyl Si-substituents are required to<br />
• Activate the vinyl silane to Heck cross-coupling<br />
• Subsequent functionalisation of the silyl diene<br />
Alkoxysilanes generally require forcing conditions, <strong>and</strong> even then react only in poor yields with<br />
significant protodesilylated products recovered.<br />
This trend is observed in Hanaoka’s synthesis of nitidine. Recovered protodesilylated styrene<br />
could be converted to the desired styrylbenzoate by a Heck reaction.<br />
