Light-driven silane functionalization using disulfide and dichloromethane

Abstract

Organosilicon compounds are of great importance in material and synthetic chemistry. Herein, we disclose a practical and general silane functionalization protocol that enables direct access to silanols and silyl ethers. The process features mild, environmentally benign conditions and enables the transformation of diverse silanes into valuable organosilicon compounds.
