A method for converting geminal dibromides into 1,1-disilylated alkanes is reported. The reaction is promoted by a copper(I) catalyst generated in situ from CuBr center dot SMe2 as a precatalyst and 4,4'-di-tent-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dtbpy) as a ligand. A Si-B reagent is used as the silicon pronucleophile. It is shown that the two C(sp(3))-Si bond-forming events differ in mechanism, with the first being ionic and the second being radical.
