Abstract
Vinylsilanes are versatile synthetic building blocks, which in
recent years have played an increasing role in the synthesis of
complex molecules. This article provides an overview of regio- and
stereoselective methods for the preparation of vinylsilanes, focusing on
the most flexible and synthetically practical routes to each substitution
pattern.
