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.

The nickel-catalyzed reaction of terminal alkenes with silacyclobutanes afforded the corresponding vinylsilanes in a highly regio- and stereoselective fashion. The reaction provides a facile access to vinylsilanes starting from trivial terminal alkenes as well as styrenes, 1,3-dienes, and acrylate esters.

A complex of [Ir(OMe)(cod)]2 and 4,4-di-tert-butyl-2,2-bipyridine (dtbpy) catalyzes the Z-selective, dehydrogenative silylation of terminal alkenes, but not internal alkenes, with triethylsilane or benzyldimethylsilane in THF. Yields and Z-stereoselectivity were significantly improved by 2-norbornene as sacrificial alkene. The reaction tolerates many functional groups.

Grubbs' first-generation Ru metathesis complex catalyses the hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes. The reaction exhibits an interesting selectivity profile that is dependent on the reaction concentration and more importantly on the silane employed.

Copper(I) catalyzes a highly regioselective synthesis of branched vinylsilanes through silicon-copper additions to terminal alkynes using methanol as additive. The corresponding vinylsilanes were obtained with excellent branched to linear selectivity in good yields.

A highly regio- and stereoselective palladium-catalyzed synthesis of various 2-silylallylboronates from allenes and 2-(dimethylphenylsilanyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl[1,3,2]dioxaborolane afforded the corresponding silaboration products in moderate to excellent yields. In the absence of an organic iodide, the silaboration gives products having completely different regiochemistry. In the presence of an aldehyde, the silaboration reaction afforded homoallylic alcohols in one pot in good to excellent yields, with exceedingly high syn selectivity.

Low catalyst loadings of (IPr)Pt(allyl ether) display enhanced activity and regioselectivity for the hydrosilylation of terminal and internal alkynes. Reactions lead to exquisite regioselectivity in favor of the cis-addition product on the less hindered terminus of terminal and internal alkynes.

The use of a catalytic amount of PtCl2 enables the conversion of α-hydroxypropargylsilanes to (Z)-silylenones through a highly selective silicon migration via alkyne activation. The complementary (E)-silylenones are accessed by a regioselective hydrosilylation of the ynone precursor.

The silicon nucleophile generated by copper(I)-catalyzed Si-B bond activation allows several γ-selective propargylic substitutions. Chloride as a leaving groups is superior in linear substrates, and the phosphate group produces superb γ-selectivity in α-branched propargylic systems, and enantioenriched substrates react with excellent central-to-axial chirality transfer.

A copper-catalzed functionalization of propiolate esters with various Grignard reagents in presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate enables the synthesis of substituted E-vinyl silanes in good yields and excellent diastereoselectivities via a catalytic carbocupration-silicon group migration sequence.

A new approach to 2-(arylmethyl)aldehydes begins with a silylformylation reaction of terminal acetylenes with aryl- or heteroarylsilanes, followed by treatment of the products with TBAF to induce a 1,2-anionotropic rearrangement of the aryl group.

A new cyclopropenation reaction, which involves Cα-Si bond insertion of alkylidene carbenes derived from α-silyl ketones, features excellent selectivity for insertion into Cα-Si bonds rather than insertion into Cγ-H bonds or addition to γ,δ-double or -triple bonds. The selectivity trend clearly indicates that the α-oxygen in the tether significantly promotes Cγ-H insertion.
