Synthesis of Acylsilanes by Palladium-catalyzed Cross-coupling Reaction of Thiol Esters and Silylzinc Chlorides
An acylsilane synthesis by a Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of thiol esters and silylzinc chlorides was developed. S-Phenyl thiol esters with a variety of functional groups were converted to corresponding acylsilanes.
