Abstract

Asymmetric hydrosilylation of simple ketones with diphenylsilane proceeded at-40° C in the presence of a rhodium complex (0.001—0.01 molar amount) coordinated with a trans- chelating chiral bisphosphine ligand bearing linear alkyl substituents on the phosphorus atoms,(R, R)-(S, S)-Et-, Pr-, or BuTRAP, giving the corresponding optically active (S)- secondary alcohols with up to 97% ee. The asymmetric hydrosilylation using TRAP ...
