Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains chapters covering modern methods for the synthesis of a-silyl alcohols, a-silyl ethers, and a-silyl amines, as well as allenylsilanes. Also included are reviews on the synthesis of metalated germanium compounds, particularly germyllithium and germylpotassium species, and on the synthesis of germylamines. Further chapters cover the synthesis of a range of chalcogen-containing six-membered heterocyclic systems, both non-fused and benzo-fused. These include benzopyranones and benzopyranthiones, dibenzopyranones, xanthenones, and xanthenethiones, 3-oxidopyrylium salts, benzothiopyrylium salts, thiopyranones and thiopyranthiones, selenopyrylium and benzoselenopyrylium salts, and telluropyrylium and benzotelluropyrylium salts.
