Synthesis of Six-membered Silacycles by Intramolecular Nucleophilic Substitution at Silicon Involving the Cleavage of Carbon-Silicon Bonds
An intramolecular nucleophilic substitution at silicon using organolithium reagents via the cleavage of an inert carbon-silicon bond has been developed as a viable tool for the synthesis of six-membered silacycles.
