Development of highly enantioselective new Lewis basic N-formamide organocatalysts for hydrosilylation of imines with an unprecedented substrate profile
l-Pipecolinic acid derived N-formamides have been developed as new Lewis basic organocatalysts that promote the asymmetric reduction of N-aryl ketimines using trichlorosilane as the reducing agent. The substituent on N4 of the piperazinyl backbone ...
