✦ Synopsis

Alkali metal derivatives of organosilicon compounds are useful not only in organosilicon chemistry, but also in organic synthesis. The synthesis, reactivity, and structural aspects of silyllithium compounds are the most studied of alkali metal derivatives. [1] Numerous anionic organosilicon compounds are
