A new one pot protocol has been developed for the reductive silylation of alkenyl methyl ethers using Et<sub>3</sub>Si-BPin and HSiEt<sub>3</sub> with nickel(ii) catalyst. Styrene type methyl ethers, multi-substituted vinyl methyl ethers, heterocycles and unconjugated vinyl ethers are all tolerated to form alkyl silanes. Mechanistic study reveals that it is a cascade of a C-O bond silylation and vinyl double bond hydrogenation process. Internal nucleophilic substitution or oxidative addition pat ...[more]
