We report the first example of a silyl-Negishi reaction between secondary zinc organometallics and silicon electrophiles. This palladium-catalyzed process provides direct access to alkyl silanes. The delicate balance of steric and electronic parameters of the employed DrewPhos ligand is paramount to suppressing isomerization and promoting efficient and selective cross-coupling.
