== Synthesis == Acylsilanes can be synthesized by treating acyl anion equivalents with silyl halides (typically trimethylsilyl chloride, tmsCl). Silylation of 2-lithio-1,3-dithiane, followed by hydrolysis of the dithioacetal group with mercury(II) chloride. Analogous methods has also been used to produce acylgermanes. left|thumb|567x567px|Brook acylsilane synthesis scheme.
