Steric hindrance seldom plays a role in nucleophilic substitutions at silicon , since the pentacoordinated Si anions of 1, R, R = Me, Ph, 1‐naphthyl, react far more rapidly with nucleophiles, e.g. PhMgBr, than the neutral compound 2 . “By‐products” of the reactivity study are new synthetic methods for RSiH 3 , RR′ 2 SiH, and RSiR′ 3 (R′ = alkyl, aryl).
