Abstract
Supported Au nanoparticles on TiO2 catalyze the unprecedented dehydrogenative disilylation of monosubstituted and 1,1‐disubstituted allenes by Et2SiH2 exclusively on the terminal double bond in a stereoselective manner. Treatment of the disilylation products with H2O, in a one‐pot operation also catalyzed by Au/TiO2, leads to 3‐alkylidene‐1,2,5‐oxadisilolanes, an unknown class of heterocyclic compounds, which are excellent scaffolds for the stereoselective synthesis of alkenes under Hiyama‐type cross‐coupling conditions.
