Pentacoordinate silicon compounds. Reactions of silatranes with nucleophiles
The reactions of hydro, organyl and halosilatranes with nucleophiles have been studied.Substitution involving cleavage of equatorial Si-O bonds is always observed.Silitranes exhibit reactivity quite different from that of analogous trialkoxysilanes or anionic pentacoordinate silicon compounds.
