23. The palladium-catalyzed C-C bond formation involving organosilanes (Hiyama coupling) is a well-known reaction: T. Hiyama in Metal-catalyzed Cross-coupling Reactions (Eds: F. Diederich, P. J. Stang), Wiley-VCH, New York, 1998, chap. 10; however, to the best of our knowledge, the analogous C-N bond-forming reaction has not been described previously.

25. Reactions carried out in the presence of CsF in dioxane as solvent gave rise to the cross-coupling product together with considerable amounts of decomposition materials derived from the imine.
26. These results indicate that strong nucleophiles tend to promote the N-Si bond cleavage at a much faster rate than the catalytic process itself, giving rise to decomposition of the imine instead of coupling-product formation.

28. The inhibition of the β-elimination pathway was a major challenge in the early work of palladium-catalyzed aryl amination. In fact, catalysts based on chelating ligands such as binap and dppf, so-called second-generation catalysts, favor reductive elimination, thus lowering the amount of β-elimination products: a) J. P.
