N-heterocyclic carbene-mediated transformations of silicon reagents

摘要

This review summarizes developments in N-heterocyclic carbene-mediated transformation of silicon reagents over the past decade. Several reactions of silicon reagents, including the sila-Stetter reaction, 1,2-addition, carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen double bond reduction, polymerization, and other miscellaneous reactions, are discussed. The mechanisms of these reactions are also presented. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
