Abstract

A mild and efficient copper-catalyzed Hiyama-type cross-coupling of vinylsiloxanes with bromoalkynes enables the formation of various sensitive enynes. Cis, trans, and 1,1′-disubstituted vinylsiloxanes can be converted with full retention of stereochemistry. Sensitive groups such as halides, unsaturated ketones, and aldehydes are fully tolerated.
