Palladium-Catalyzed Bissilylation of Arynes with Cyclic Disilanes: Synthesis of Benzo-Annulated Disilacarbocycles

Abstract
Arynes, generated in situ from 2-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflate and a fluoride ion, were found to insert into a silicon−silicon bond of cyclic disilanes in the presence of a catalytic amount of a palladium−tert-alkyl isocyanide complex to afford diverse benzo-annulated disilacarbocycles straightforwardly in modest to high yields.
