Progress in the Preparation and Application of Arylsilane

Arylsilanes are the basic raw material for the synthesis of advanced silicone new materials such as phenylsilicone resin, phenylsilicone oil and phenyl silicone rubber, etc. The silicone polymers containing aryl groups were applied widely in the fields including electronics, and aerospace. In the past decades, arylsilanes have been widely used in organic synthesis, such as Hiyama coupling, C-N bond formation, synthesis of biaryl, polyketone polymer, and so on. Therefore, synthetic research on arylsilanes has also received wide attention. In this paper, the research progress of the synthesis and applications of arylsilanes in the past decades has been reviewed.
