Organosilicon Chemistry

Tamejiro Hiyama, PhD, is RDI Fellow at Chuo University and Professor Emeritus at Kyoto University (both in Japan). He is best known for his work in developing the Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction and the Hiyama cross-coupling. He is the recipient of the Chemical Society of Japan Award, the Humboldt Research Award, and the Frederic Stanley Kipping Award in Silicon Chemistry. He has published over 500 papers and 25 books. Martin Oestreich, PhD, is Einstein Professor of Synthesis and Catalysis at the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany. His research is focused on main-group chemistry related to catalysis with emphasis on silicon and boron. He is on the editorial advisory board of European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Chemical Society Reviews, and Chemical Science, and has published over 250 papers and five books.
