Hiyama coupling
The Hiyama coupling is a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of organosilanes with organic halides used in organic chemistry to form carbon–carbon bonds. This reaction was discovered in 1988 by Tamejiro Hiyama and Yasuo Hatanaka as a method to form carbon-carbon bonds synthetically with chemo- and regioselectivity. The Hiyama coupling has been applied to the synthesis of various natural products. : aryl, alkenyl or alkynyl : aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl or alkyl : Cl, F or alkyl : Cl, Br, I or OTf
