A palladium-catalyzed allylic silylation using allylic alcohols and disilanes as
precursors proceeds smoothly under mild and neutral conditions and is suitable
for synthesis of regio- and stereodefined allylsilanes. The presented silylation
reaction can be easily extended to include synthesis of allylboronates by change
of the dimetallic reagent.

An open-bent titanocene complex [Me2C(C5H4)2TiMe2]
proved to be efficient for the hydrosilylation of a variety of substrates such
as disubstituted dienes, activated alkenes, and even an alkyne.

A zinc-catalyzed nucleophilic substitution reaction of chlorosilanes with
organomagnesium reagents affords a broad range of functionalized
tetraorganosilanes under mild reaction conditions. The reaction can be performed
on large scale.

Pd-catalyzed silylation of allylic phenyl ethers as electrophiles with
organodisilanes can be run at room temperature in water as the only medium using
micellar catalysis.

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.

An enantioselective silaboration of allenes was achieved using an achiral
silylborane in the presence of a palladium catalyst bearing a chiral
monodentate phosphine ligand. The enantioselectivity depended on the
bulkiness of substituents of allenes.
