Various alkynylsilanes were efficiently prepared via zinc halides-mediated direct silylation of terminal alkynes with aminosilanes. Base- and nucleophile-sensitive functionalities were tolerated under the reaction conditions. The electrophilic character of this transformation is supported by initial mechanistic studies.
