Abstract
The nickel-catalyzed reaction of terminal alkenes with silacyclobutanes afforded the corresponding vinylsilanes in a highly regio- and stereoselective fashion. The reaction provides a facile access to vinylsilanes starting from trivial terminal alkenes as well as styrenes, 1,3-dienes, and acrylate esters.
