Small-ring silacycles are important organosilane species in main-group chemistry and have
found numerous applications in organic synthesis. 3-Silaazetidine, a unique small silacycle …

Silaazacycles (or azasilacycles), containing both nitrogen and silicon atoms, are appealing
ring structures in the development of silicon-containing functional molecules. The …

The synthesis of silacycles is highly appealing due to their important applications in organic
synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and materials chemistry. However, sila‐tetralins and sila …

Herein, a readily available disilane Me3SiSiMe2 (OnBu) has been developed for the
synthesis of diverse silacycles via Brook-and retro-Brook-type rearrangement. This protocol …

Silacycles are ubiquitous building blocks. Small silacycles can typically be expanded
catalytically. A silirane, silirene and phosphasilirene as well as a siletane and a silolene …

An intramolecular ring expansion of in situ formed 3-silaazetidine with internal alkynes has
been developed via Pd-catalyzed Si–C bond activation. The reaction gives rise to 6, 5-and …

Silacycle is one of the most essential core frameworks in silicon-containing functional
molecules. However, the structural diversity of silacycles has been largely limited due to the …

The C–Si bond activation via a direct transition metal insertion has recently gained growing
attention in the organic chemical community. The process not only shows a new and unique …

We report the synthesis of both diastereomers of an all-silicon analog of decalin. Carbocyclic
decalin is a ubiquitous bicyclic structural motif. The siladecalin synthesis provides materials …

The omnipresence of silicon compounds with carbon substituents in synthetic chemistry
hides the fact that, except for certain substitution patterns at the silicon atom, their …
