<p>Herein we report a one-pot synthesis of styrene derivatives <em>via</em> a novel B(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>-catalyzed <em>E</em>-selective isomerization of readily accessible allyl silanes and subsequent Hiyama coupling of the versatile alkenyl silane intermediates. This one-pot two-step approach enables access to a broad range of styrene derivatives including those containing Lewis basic functional groups that are inaccessible <em>via</em> the previously developed B(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>-catalyzed isomerization of allyl benzenes.</p><p>Analysis of reaction products from this methodology resulted in the following data:</p><p>1H, 19F and 13C NMR raw data files</p><p>IR spectra</p><p>High resolution mass spectrometry spectra.<br></p><p>Research results based upon these data are published at https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.orglett.2c03584<br></p><p><br></p>
