The chemistry of organic silicon compounds
The carbon-silicon bond is not every organic chemist's idea of a typical functional group, being present within a wide variety of `functional groups'. Nonetheless, in the Patai series on functional groups, which has a long and illustrious history, this type of classification has often been used to good effect, and this two volume compilation continues this tradition.
Many years ago these volumes began conventionally enough with discussions of the chemistry of alkenes, the carbonyl group, the ether linkage, the amino, nitro and nitroso groups, and the chemistry of esters. As a `functional group', however, the ...
