Carbon-Carbon Bond-Forming Reactions of Compounds of Boron, Silicon, and Tin

  • Chapter
Advanced Organic Chemistry

Part of the book series: Advanced Organic Chemistry ((AOCB))

Abstract

In this chapter, we will discuss examples of the use of the compounds of boron, silicon, and tin in organic synthesis to form carbon-carbon bonds. These elements are at the boundary of the metals and nonmetals, with boron being the most electronegative and tin the least electronegative of the three. The neutral alkyl derivatives of boron have the formula R3B, whereas those of silicon and tin have the formulas R3Si and R4Sn. These compounds are relatively volatile, nonpolar substances which exist as discrete molecules and in which the carbon-metal bonds are largely covalent. The synthetically important reactions of these compounds involve transfer of a carbon substituent with one (radical equivalent) or two (car-banion equivalent) electrons to a reactive carbon center. This chapter will emphasize the nonradical reactions. In contrast to the reactions of the transition metals, during which there is often a change in oxidation level at the metal, there is usually no oxidation level change at the heteroatom during the reactions of boron, silicon, and tin compounds.
