The catalytic ortho to para transposition of a silyl group in aniline derivatives is described. [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2/BINAP in conjunction with a Cu(OAc)2 additive serves as a potent catalytic system. This method is also applicable to the isomerization of 2-silylpyrrole derivatives to the corresponding 3-silyl isomers.
Friedel-Crafts-Type Intermolecular C-H Silylation of Electron-Rich Arenes Initiated by Base-Metal Salts

An electrophilic aromatic substitution (SEAr) with a catalytically generated silicon electrophile is reported. Essentially any commercially available base-metal salt acts as an initiator/catalyst when activated with NaBArF4. The thus-generated Lewis acid then promotes the SEAr of electron-rich arenes with hydrosilanes but not halosilanes. This new C-H silylation was optimized for FeCl2 /NaBArF4, affording good yields at catalyst loadings as low as 0.5 mol %. The procedure is exceedingly straightforward and comes close to typical Friedel-Crafts methods, where no added base is needed to absorb the released protons.
