Addition of N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst to aryl esters induces remote C-Si bond activation and benzylic carbon functionalization

Addition of N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst to aryl esters induces remote C-Si bond activation and benzylic carbon functionalization

Through the incorporation of a silicon atom to an aryl carboxylic ester substrate, the resulting C-Si bond can be activated via the addition of a carbene catalyst on a remote site. This strategy allows for efficient functionalization of the benzylic sp3-carbons of aryl carboxylic esters.
