Enantioselective Synthesis of Allylsilanes Bearing Tertiary and Quaternary Si‐Substituted Carbons through Cu‐Catalyzed Allylic Alkylations with Alkylzinc and Arylzinc Reagents

Abstract

All sorts of allylsilanes including, for the first time, those that contain a Si-bonded quaternary carbon, were synthesized through efficient and highly enantioselective Cu-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylations. Reactions may involve dialkyl- as well as diarylzinc reagents and are promoted by various chiral N-heterocyclic carbene complexes.
