Construction of benzosiloles, six- and eight-membered silacyclic skeletons, via a Pd-catalyzed intramolecular Mizoroki-Heck reaction of vinylsilanes

A variety of silacycles including benzosiloles, six- and eight-membered silacyclic skeletons, were efficiently synthesized via a Pd-catalyzed intramolecular Mizoroki–Heck reaction of vinylsilanes.
