However, few general methods of carbosilylation are known. Here, we introduce a strategy for arylsilylation of electron deficient terminal alkenes by combining photoredox-catalyzed silyl radical generation, innate reactivity of silyl radical with alkene, and Ni-catalyzed aryl-alkyl cross-coupling. This cooperative photoredox and nickel catalysis operates under mild conditions. It employs readily available alkenes, aryl bromides, and silane as reagents, and it produces useful synthetic building blocks in a modular manner.Chemistry, PhysicalChemistrynickel catalysisarylsilylationphotoredox catalysiscooperative catalysisorganosiliconsilyl radicalsalkyl-halidesdifunctionalizationcarbosilylationactivationarylhydrosilylation(tms)(3)sihgenerationcomplexestext::journal::journal article::research article
