Abstract

Recent advances in the use of silicon-tethered frameworks as directing groups for the efficient construction of C–C, C–B, C–O and C–X (X = halogen) bonds are discussed in this short review. In addition, mechanistic insights are briefly discussed. Hence, the goal of this short review is to give an overview of the state of the art in this field, encompassing the reactivity, selectivity and efficiency of different processes.
