Transition‐Metal‐Free Catalytic C─H Bond Silylation

Abstract

Herein, we provide a detailed look at the state of transition‐metal‐free catalytic C–H silylation with select examples to highlight specific advances during the field's recent development. The reactions are categorized by type of catalyst (i.e. Lewis acid, Brønsted acid, Brønsted base, and radical initiation catalysts). For each catalyst system presented, an overview of the substrate scope, mechanism (if known), and significant limitations is discussed.
