Synthesis and Application of Siloles: From the Past to Present
Soumava Santra
Abstract
Abstract Heterocyclic compounds in particular siloles in which a carbon atom has been replaced by an isovalent silicon atom, has gained wide attention recently. Due to their unique and interesting electronic and aggregation‐induced emmision properties, they found practical application in many areas. The properties of siloles depend upon the nature of subsituents present on the ring. Therefore, the synthetic methods and strategies continued to evolve since their first synthetic report. The advances in the synthesis of siloles, mechanistic details, substituents effect and applications have been discussed in this review.
