Mg. Voronkov et al., The nature of the super-electron-releasing inductive effect of the silatranyl group and its spectroscopic and chemical consequences, RUSS CHEM B, 50(5), 2001, pp. 757-763
The relationship between the structure of carbofunctionally substituted 1-m
ethylsilatranes XCH2Si(OCHRCH2)(3)N (R = H, Me; X = R ' N-2, R 'S, Cl, etc.
, R ' = Alk), the unusually high electron-releasing properties of the silat
ranyl group, and the enhanced chemical reactivity of the exocyclic XCH2 sub
stituent is discussed.
