A zinc-catalyzed nucleophilic substitution reaction of chlorosilanes with organomagnesium reagents affords a broad range of functionalized tetraorganosilanes under mild reaction conditions. The reaction can be performed on large scale.

Various siletanes have been used as substrates for the oxidation of carbon-silicon bonds upon exposure to aqueous fluoride and peroxide. These tetraalkylsilanes offer a combination of stability and reactivity with many practical benefits, including compatibility with silicon protecting groups and electron-rich aromatic rings.

Allylsilylation allows to install both silyl and allyl groups onto a carbon-carbon double bond directly. Proton-exchanged montmorillonite showed excellent catalytic performances for the allylsilylation of alkenes. Isolation of the reaction intermediate on the montmorillonite surface helped to investigate the reaction mechanism.

In the presence of cationic rhodium complexes, Si-B compounds function as equivalents of nucleophilic silicon, which is efficiently transferred onto acyclic as well as cyclic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. [((S)-binap)Rh(cod)]ClO4 has effected an asymmetric 1,4-addition to cyclic acceptors in high enantiomeric excess.

A platinum-catalyzed intramolecular silaboration of borylsilanyl homoallyl ethers gave 1-oxa-2-silacyclopentanes in high yields. The stereoselectivity of the reactions strongly depended on the used ligands. A complementary synthesis of a pair of diastereomers of 6-methylheptane-1,3,5-triol is described.

Highly efficient, stereo- and regioselective palladium-catalyzed hydro-, sila-, and stannastannations of cyclopropenes gave multisubstituted cyclopropylstannanes. The addition across the double bond proceeds from the least hindered face.
