Abstract
The reaction of 2-(trimethylsilyl)phenylboronic acid with alkynes in the presence of a rhodium catalyst affords benzosilole derivatives. The arylvinylrhodium intermediate undergoes formal substitution at a silicon center, resulting in the cleavage of a robust silicon-methyl bond in the trimethylsilyl group.
