Palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of acid‐ and base‐unstable heteroatom‐functionalized organosilanes and C(sp 2 )X electrophiles such as aryl and alkenyl (pseudo)halides has been extensively studied. In contrast, little is known about the coupling between unactivated alkenyltrialkylsilanes and C(sp 3 )X electrophiles. Herein, the copper(I)‐promoted coupling of chromatographically stable alkenylbenzyldimethylsilanes with unreactive alkyl halides as well as allyl and benzyl halides is described. The reaction proceeds in the presence of CuI‐P(OEt) 3 and Bu 4 NF ⋅ ( t BuOH) 4 to produce stereodefined di‐ and trisubstituted alkenes with complete retention of configuration.
