General description

In the presence of a Pd catalyst, this reagent cross-couples with aryl bromides to give styrene derivatives.

Application

  • Cyclic siloxanes conjugated with fluorescent aromatic compounds as fluoride sensors: This study explores the use of cyclic siloxanes conjugated with aromatic compounds for sensing applications, offering a pathway for academic chemists interested in sensor technology and fluorescence studies (N Prigyai et al., 2020).
  • Synthesis, film morphology and performance of novel crosslinked polysiloxane with end-capped epoxy groups on cotton substrates: This article examines the chemical modification of cotton substrates using polysiloxane derivatives, which can be crucial for developing advanced textile coatings (L Hao et al., 2014).
  • Stabilizing Li-rich layered oxide cathode interface by using silicon-based electrolyte additive: This research investigates the use of a silicon-based additive derived from 2,4,6,8-tetramethyl-2,4,6,8-tetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane to enhance the stability of lithium-rich cathodes, important for chemists working with energy storage technologies (T Huang et al., 2024).

Polythiophenes are the most widely utilized semiconducting polymers in organic electronics, but they are scarcely exploited in photonics due to their high photo-induced absorption caused by interchain polaron pairs, which prevents the establishment of a window of net optical gain.

[reaction: see text] A mild and general method for the palladium-catalyzed vinylation of aryl bromides has been developed. The use of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) as the activator and an inexpensive and nontoxic vinyl donor, 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane (D(4)(V), 1), allows for a
