Convenient and Selective Preparation of Mono-alkoxyphenylsilanes from Phenylsilane and Alcohols

Abstract The selective dehydrogenative coupling of phenylsilane and alcohols, including primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, was smoothly catalyzed by bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonato)copper(II) complex to afford the corresponding mono-alkoxysilanes in good-to-high yield after distillation.
