NaOH and KOH catalyze a mild, scalable, and chemoselective catalytic cross-dehydrogenative C-H bond functionalization protocol for the construction of C(sp)-Si bonds in a single step. The scope of the alkyne and hydrosilane partners is substantial, providing an entry point into various organosilane building blocks.

Visible-light irradiation mediates the synthesis of alkynylsilanes in very good yields from alkynes and silanes in the presence of CuCl as precatalyst. A large scale flow reaction and late-stage functionalization of natural products show the potential of the transformation.

Various alkynylsilanes were efficiently prepared via zinc halides-mediated direct silylation of terminal alkynes with aminosilanes. Base- and nucleophile-sensitive functionalities were tolerated under the reaction conditions. The electrophilic character of this transformation is supported by initial mechanistic studies.
