Recent Advances in the Synthesis of Acylsilanes

Abstract

Abstract Acylsilanes are of wide interest and have been investigated as an important class of organic reaction intermediates with superior chemical and physical properties. Various synthetic methods for the preparation of acylsilanes with mild reaction conditions resulting in excellent yields and high stereoselectivity have been developed. These strategies mainly include step‐wise reaction design, oxidative systems, isomerization/rearrangement, silylation of carboxylic acid derivatives and carbonylation. This minireview summarizes recent advances in the synthesis of acylsilanes over the past decade.
