Stereoselective synthesis of tetrasubstituted vinylsilanes is a challenging task. We herein report a novel palladium(0)-catalyzed defluorosilylation of β,β-difluoroacrylates to access tetrasubstituted vinylsilanes containing the monofluoroalkene motif in excellent diastereoselectivities (>99:1). This is our first example of C-heteroatom bond formation from the C-F bond under such a Pd catalytic manifold.
