Abstract

Silylation of hydrocarbons is one of the most important transformations due to the diverse application of organosilanes. Continuous progress is being made in organosilane synthesis particularly through direct C–H activation/functionalization. This minireview compiles various processes reported for C–Si bond formation from 2000–2014, through C–H activation/functionalization (proximal and remote) and metal-free approaches.
