A regio-/chemoselective silylation reaction of various functionalized terminal alkenes in the presence of titanocene dichloride, based on a newly designed dianion-type zincate, was developed. The present silylation of terminal alkenes is a powerful tool for the one-pot generation of regiocontrolled functionalized allysilanes, which are available for various transformation reactions, such as hydroxyalkylation, epoxidation, and hydroboration.
