Palladium-Catalyzed Copper-Promoted Hiyama-Type Carbon-Carbon Cross-Coupling Reactions of Dihetaryl Disulfides as Electrophiles

Dihetaryl disulfides were used as electrophiles in a palladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon cross-coupling reaction with arylsilanes to realize a Hiyama-type reaction. This unique transformation shows high reactivity, excellent functional-group tolerance, and mild reaction conditions, making it an attractive alternative to conventional cross-coupling approaches for carbon-carbon bond construction.
