Mild Rh(III)-Catalyzed Direct C–H Bond Arylation of (Hetero)Arenes with Arylsilanes in Aqueous Media

An efficient rhodium­(III)-catalyzed C–H bond activation and further direct arylation of (hetero)­arenes with organosilanes in aqueous media was developed. This reaction shows good substrate scope and excellent functional group compatibility and gives the products in good yields with excellent regioselectivity.
