Organosilicon Chemistry: 2

Organosilicon Chemistry: 2 provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of organosilicon chemistry. This book discusses the organosilicon substituents in anionic rearrangements as well as examines the production of tetrakis allene from a large number of aliphatic and aromatic polyhalogenated compounds. Organized into 14 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the use of organosilyl groups as migrating substituents. This text then examines the development in the chemistry of organosilicon cyclic compounds. Other chapters consider the evidence supporting the intermediacy of silylenes and the general picture of the chemistry of organosilylenes. This book discusses as well the two major approaches for the silylation of polyhalogenated compounds, including the direct reaction of polyhalogenated compounds and the metalation or halogen-metal exchange between the halogenated aromatic compounds and organolithium reagents. The final chapter deals with the importance of hydrosilation. This book is a valuable resource for chemists, scientists, and research workers.
