The development of site-specific modification of alkyne-functionalized proteins using dimethylarylsilanes and substoichiometric or low-loading of Ru(ii) catalysts is reported. Furthermore, the resultant gem-vinylsilane can undergo further targeted chemical modifications, highlighting its potential for single-site, dual-modification applications.
