Abstract

Alkylsilanes are of great interest in medicinal chemistry owing to their various biological activities. 1 For example, alkylsilanes have recently been employed as insecticidal protectants, 2 anticancer agents, 3 and muscle relaxants. 4 As a consequence, significant research effort is currently being directed toward the development of reproducible and high-yielding preparative procedures for this interesting class of compounds. To date, the common approaches for ...
