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 />
