The silylation of various aryl iodides with 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyltrisiloxane was achieved using transition-metal catalysts, such as Pd(0), Pt(0), and Rh(I), which offer a dramatically different substrate scope.

High yields were achieved by using [Rh(cod)(MeCN)2]BF4 as catalyst in a specific silylation of aryl iodides and bromides with triethoxysilane in the presence of NEt3. This new reaction tolerates different functional groups and therefore often eliminates the need to use protective groups (compared to previous methods via Grignard reagents).

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.

A new approach to 2-(arylmethyl)aldehydes is presented. The sequence starts with a silylformylation reaction of terminal acetylenes with aryl- or heteroarylsilanes, which is followed by a TBAF-induced 1,2-anionotropic rearrangement.

In the presence of cationic rhodium complexes, Si-B compounds function as equivalents of nucleophilic silicon, which is efficiently transferred onto acyclic as well as cyclic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. [((S)-binap)Rh(cod)]ClO4 has effected an asymmetric 1,4-addition to cyclic acceptors in high enantiomeric excess.

A new method for the synthesis of substituted 2-acylallylmetal reagents in a highly regio- and stereoselective fashion involving a three-component assembly of allenes, acyl chlorides, and bimetallic reagents (B-B, Si-Si, and Sn-Sn) catalyzed by phosphine-free palladium complexes is described.

Highly efficient, stereo- and regioselective palladium-catalyzed hydro-, sila-, and stannastannations of cyclopropenes gave multisubstituted cyclopropylstannanes. The addition across the double bond proceeds from the least hindered face.

Treatment of chlorobis(methyldiphenylsilyl)methyllithium with various Grignard reagents and CuCN·2LiCl afforded 1,1-disilylalkylcopper species. Subsequent aerobic oxidation provided various acylsilanes in good yields. The preparation of 1-cyano-1-silylalkylcopper species via consecutive double 1,2-migration of alkyl and cyano groups is described.
