Fig. 1: Research background and our work on the reaction of SCBs and benzosilacyclobutenes with alkynes.
From: Nickel(0)-catalyzed divergent reactions of silacyclobutanes with internal alkynes
a Pd or Rh-catalyzed reaction of SCBs with alkynes in literature. b This work for Ni-catalyzed divergent reactions of SCBs with alkynes. c Medicinally relevant molecules possessing vicinal-diaryl structures. The potential “C/Si switch” site in those vicinal-diaryl structures has been highlighted by pink ball.
