Hydrosilane functional group transformation

Chlorosilanes are the most important functional silicon compounds. As described above, chlorosilanes can be used for silicon—carbon and silicon—silicon bond formation. In addition, chlorosilanes can be converted into other functional silicon compounds, such as hydrosilanes, alkoxysilanes, and aminosi-lanes. Hydrosilanes, alkoxysilanes, and aminosilanes can be transformed furthermore into other functional silicon compounds. Combination of functional group transformation and silicon-carbon and silicon—silicon bond formation of chlorosilanes are essential for the construction of organosilicon clusters. 

Hydrogen atoms on silicon atoms are functional groups. Hydrosilanes can he transformed into halosilanes, alkoxysilanes, etc.
