A traceless organosilicon template-directed meta-selective-C-H alkenylation of phenols was realized with good yields and high selectivities. The template readily removable through F--promoted O-Si cleavage under extremely mild conditions or recyclable a p-TSA catalyzed process. product successfully applied in the preparation series meta-alkenylated aromatic compounds.
