Abstract

Many investigations have been reported whose ultimate purpose has been to establish a general series by which the relative ease of cleavage of an organic radical from a metal could be predicted. While silicon is not generally considered to be a metal, it has been found to behave in a manner qualitatively analogous to metals in cleavage reactions. Although a comprehensive survey of the cleavage reactions of organosilicon compounds has never ...
