1-(Trimethylsilyl)vinyl MIDA boronate — a trifunctional C2 building block — is prepared in only two laboratory steps and 54% overall yield starting from readily available trimethyl(vinyl)silane. The title compound undergoes orthogonal functionalization at either of the groups present in its structure, for example, iodination at the trimethylsilyl moiety, epoxidation at the double bond, and Suzuki–Miyaura coupling at the MIDA boronate.
