Reagents for Silicon-Mediated Organic Synthesis
Silicon reagents are usually low-cost, versatile and allow a wide range of reactions. For the selection the Editor focused on three key synthetic approaches with the greatest impact:
* Use of silicon as a "temporary tether" by unifying a reactive pair of functional groups and taking advantage of their template-biased intramolecular cyclization
* The specific use if the silane functionality as a ...
