Organic synthesis: the roles of boron and silicon

Hydroboration reactions of organoboranes organoboron routes to unsaturated hydrocarbons allyl boranes and boron enolates boronic ester homologation properties of organosilicon compounds protection of alcohols as silyl ethers silyl enol ethers, silyl dienol ethers, silyl ketene acetals and 1,2-bis-siloxy alkenes alkene synthesis vinyl silanes allyl silanes.
