Abstract
In a nucleophilic displacement of the triflate leaving group attached to terminally functionalized alkyl groups, copper catalysis is used to release the silicon nucleophile from Suginome's Si-B reagent. The functional group tolerance is excellent, the reaction even tolerates halide leaving groups.
