Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2022-08-30 DOI: 10.1039/D2CC03966D

Abstract

The reactivity of a molecular magnesium silanide toward ketones displays a significant variability of outcome, resulting in adduct formation, deprotonation, dearomatisation or deoxygenation, that is dependent on the structure and electronic character of the carbonyl-containing reagent.
