“…412 For example, in organosilicon chemistry, many unsaturated compounds, such as silaaromatics (silabenzene), 1322 trisilaallene (R 2 Si=Si=SiR 2 ), 2327 and disilyne (RSi¸SiR), 2834 have been synthesized by taking advantage of the steric protection by the appropriate bulky groups. 35 The bulky protecting groups so far developed can be categorized into three types, i.e., aryl, 2,3,1319,21,22,34 alkyl, 1,2327 and silyl 20,2833 groups. Among them, the bulky aryl groups have been the most widely used in this chemistry.…”
