Description

The 34th Organosilicon Symposium at White Plains, NY, in 2001 featured a History and Retrospective Session, during which invited speakers from academic and industrial laboratories recounted the path to some significant 20th century discoveries in organosilicon chemistry.

  • The Si=C Story: The Way it Happened, Adrian G. Brook (University of Toronto)
  • The Discovery of Stable Disilenes and Silylenes, Robert West (University of Wisconsin)
  • Yellow Fever: The Story Behind the Synthesis of Germasilenes, Kim M. Baines (University of Western Ontario)
  • Direct Synthesis of Tris(dimethylamino)silane, William B. Herdle (OSi Specialties, formerly of Union Carbide Corporation)
  • Discovery of Tin and Phosphorus Effects on the Direct Synthesis of Methylchlorosilanes, Larry H. Wood (Dow Corning Corporation)
  • Discovery of Methylchlorosilylene (CH3SiCl) as a Key Intermediate in the Direct Synthesis of Dimethyldichlorosilane ((CH3)2SiCl2), Kenrick M. Lewis (OSi Specialties, formerly of Union Carbide Corporation)
  • The First Platinum-Catalyzed Hydrosilylation With Supported Platinum Catalysts, George H. Wagner (Retired, formerly of Union Carbide Corporation)
