You would basically have to be dealing with an entire planet of silicon life, which we already know it isn't.Unless the locals are just so different that it doesn't happen with them.
And the locals may still just not know how to do it.
To be honest it's barely even chemistry, it's just literal shit breaking down in the normal process that would be required for a planet full of carbon based life to have a working nutrient cycle.
