Silicon chemistry has been demonstrated to be a novel source of chemical diversity in odorant design. The carbon/silicon switch strategy, i.e. , sila‐replacement in known odorants, is one of the methods currently used for the development of silicon‐based odorants. Examples resulting from this strategy are sila‐coranol, sila‐dimetol, sila‐linalool, sila‐muguetalcohol, sila‐majantol, sila‐hydratropyl acetate, sila‐bourgeonal, sila‐lilial, disila‐versalide , and disila‐okoumal.
