The silylation of C-H bonds can provide a silylated pyridine, which can then be used in cross coupling reactions. We have used of series of diruthenium complexes to carry out this transformation with the yields of the silylated pyridines in the 20-40% range. The reactions of triethylsilane with substituted pyridines (2, 3, and 4-picoline) have been conducted and the relationship between the yields of the silylpyridine and the proposed silylation mechanism will be presented.
