Abstract
A new and efficient synthesis of 8 H -benzo[ e ]phenanthro[1,10- bc ]silines from 2-((2-(arylethynyl)aryl)silyl)aryl triflates has been developed under palladium catalysis. The reaction mechanism has been experimentally investigated and a catalytic cycle involving a C-H/C-H coupling through a new mode of 1,4-palladium migration with concomitant alkene stereoisomerization has been proposed.
