Abstract In the presence of tris(diethylamino)sulfonium di¯uorotrimethylsilicate (TASF) and allylpalladium chloride dimer, RCH(OX)CF2CH=CHSi(CH3)3 (X=H, Benzyl) reacts with aryl iodides to give the corresponding coupling products. # 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.

1. Introduction Pursuant to our ongoing interests in the development of novel methodology for the synthesis of ¯uorine-containing compounds, we recently prepared a new type of vinyltrimethylsilanes 1 [1]. 1 is a valuable building block in the synthesis of compounds containing the di¯uoromethylene group because the vinyltrimethylsilyl functional group is present. To demonstrate the synthetic utilities of 1, the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of 1 with aryl iodides is described herein.
2. Results Although a few papers have appeared which partly succeeded in cross-coupling reaction using vinylsilanes as a partner [2±5], in the reaction of normal vinyl trimethylsilane compounds, drastic reaction conditions are generally required and low yields of the products result owing to *Corresponding author.

the poor reactivity of organosilanes [6±8]. Ten years ago, Hiyama and Hatanaka [9] reported that the cross-coupling reaction of vinyltrimethylsilane with organic halides took place in the presence of tris(diethylamino)sulfonium di¯uorotrimethylsilicate (TASF) and allylpalladium chloride dimer to give cleanly the desired coupling products. This approach stimulated us to extend the Hiyama procedure to compound 1. When the mixture of vinyltrimethylsilane 1, aryl iodide 3, TASF, allylpalladium chloride dimer and hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA) was stirred at 508C for 24 h, the cross-coupling reaction did occur to produce the coupling product 4 in moderate yield. However, the conversion 1 was not high (entries 1±3 in Table 1). We reasoned that the low conversion was because of the hydroxyl group in 1, because it may form a hydrogen bond with the ¯uoride anion in TASF, so that the activity of TASF was decreased. Thus the hydroxyl-protected compounds 2 were prepared by the reaction of 1 with benzyl bromide in the presence of sodium hydride [10]. As we expected, under Hiyama reaction conditions, the conversion and the coupling product yield of the reaction of 2 with aryl iodide was high (entries 4 and 5 in Table 1). It is noteworthy that in this reaction the original Econ®guration of the vinyl silane was partly rolled-over (E:Z5:1). To the best of our knowledge, this is the ®rst example of the cross-coupling of the ¯uorine-containing vinyl silanes with aryl iodides mediated by a palladium catalyst.

F NMR spectra (56.4 or 282 Hz) were recorded on a Varian-360L instrument or a 300 MHz spectrometer using CF3CO2H as an external standard, up®eld positive. 1 H NMR spectra were recorded on a 300 MHz spectrometer with tetramethylsilane as the internal standard. All chemical shifts are expressed in ppm. The mass spectra were recorded on a HP5989A mass spectrometer. Light petroleum ethers refers to the fraction with distillation range 60±908C. A representative procedure of the cross-coupling reaction. TASF (162 mg, 0.6 mmol) was added to allylpalladium chloride dimer (4 mg, 0.04 mmol) and 2 (RPh, XBenzyl; 128 mg, 0.4 mmol) dissolved in hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA) (1.5 ml) under a nitrogen atmosphere. Iodobenzene (683 mg, 0.8 mmol) was injected into the resulting solution, and the mixture was stirred at 508C for 24 h. After completion of the reaction, the catalyst was removed by passing the reaction mixture through a silica gel column (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate, 95:5). Evaporation of the solvent gave the residue. Column chromatography of the residue on silica gel (petroleum ether/ ethyl acetate, 99:1) yielded pure 4d (127 mg, 91% yield). 4a: 19 F NMR (56.4 MHz, CDCl3) : 28.0 (s); 1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) : 7.32±7.59 (m, 10H), 6.89 (d, J20.0 Hz, 1H), 6.10±6.23 (m, 1H), 4.99 (t, J9.0 Hz, 1H), 2.79 (br, 1H); MS (m/e): 154 (11.2), 153 (11.0), 108 (11.1), 107 (100); Anal.
