Abstract
The goal of this monograph is to review the use of silicon reagents in organic synthesis. Activity in this area has grown by leaps and bounds in the past decade. The commercial availability of many of these silicon reagents should further encourage development of new chemistry in this area [1–6]. This topic has been the subject of several previous reviews [7–13]. In the present monograph, I have attempted to comprehensively cover this field with the exception of silylation, the protection of O-H, N-H, and S-H bonds as silyl ethers [11, 12]. This choice was dictated by the vast number of examples of the use of silylation whose comprehensive coverage would have easily doubled the length of this already sizeable monograph.
