Abstract

Abstract A preparatively straightforward methodology has been developed which allows the assembly of silicon-containing carbocycles as mixtures of diastereomers with silicon as the sole center of stereogenic information. One-step construction of the chiral cyclic silanes is realized by reaction of equimolar amounts of a dibromide and a chirally modified dichlorosilane under Barbier conditions giving access to several monofunctionalized 1- ...
