Alkenyldimethyl(2-thienyl)silanes, Excellent Coupling Partner for the Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reaction

Abstract
Introduction of a 2-thienyl group to the silicon atom of alkenylsilanes promoted the cross-coupling reaction with aryl halides mediated by tetrabutylammonium fluoride and a palladium catalyst. The reaction proceeded under extremely mild conditions to afford arylalkenes in high yields.
