Abstract

A practical Cu-catalyzed C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-coupling of alkylsilyl peroxides with arylboronic acids provides alkyl-substituted aromatic rings smoothly at room temperature. The reductive cleavage of the O-O bond and the desired cross-coupling reactions are promoted by simple Cu-based catalysts and do not require activation by visible light.
