Recent Progress in Radical-Mediated Si—H Functionalization of Silanes: An Effective Strategy for the Synthesis of Organosilanes Containing C—Si Bond

Organosilanes are versatile intermediates and products in material chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry and synthetic chemistry because of their unique physical, chemical and physiological properties.In the past century, the synthesis of organosilanes containing C-Si bonds has gradually become one of the research hotspots.Due to the high tolerance of functional groups, good atomic economy and chemoselectivity of radical chemistry, the construction of C-Si bond via free radical silylation reaction has achieved great progress in recent years.The research progress of the radical silylation reactions exploring silane as the precursor of silicon radical in the last decade is summarized, and the related reaction mechanism is discussed.
