Abstract
Direct Csp3-Csp3 coupling of various aliphatic trimethylsilyl ethers and allylsilanes is effectively catalyzed by InCl3 and I2. The transformation probably involves an in situ-derived combined Lewis acid of InCl3 and Me3SiI. The reaction allows the construction of quaternary-quaternary and quaternary-tertiary carbon-carbon bonds and tolerates aryl halide moieties.
