Regioselective Ni-Catalyzed reductive alkylsilylation of acrylonitrile with unactivated alkyl bromides and chlorosilanes

Abstract

Synthetic methodologies that enable the formation of C‒Si bonds in organic molecules are desirable. Here, the authors report the nickel-catalyzed reductive alkylsilylation of acrylonitrile with unactivated alkyl bromides and chlorosilanes.
