The field of organosilicon chemistry has undergone explosive growth in the past thirty years,
Organosilicon compounds have many applications in organic chemistry, most notably as:
Derivatization reagents,
Blocking / protecting agents,
Intermediates in organic synthesis and reducing agents.
As the global market for antibacterial compounds increases due to population growth and increasing healthcare demands, pharmaceutical manufacturers will rely on silanes as they develop the next generation of antibiotic therapies.
