Palladium-Catalyzed Oxalyl Amide Directed Silylation and Germanylation of Amine Derivatives

Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed direct ortho-silylation of oxalyl amide-protected phenylmethanamine and phenethylamine with commercially available disilanes is reported. Germanylation products were also produced under the same reaction conditions. This protocol tolerated oxalyl amide-protected aliphatic amines, which gave γ-C-H silylation products.
