Abstract

Exposure of a variety of prochiral substrates to [(R)-(–)-DTBM-SEGPHOS]CuH + PMHS under microwave or conventionally heated conditions reduces reaction times for these hydrosilylations from hours to minutes without significant erosion in ee in most cases.Key words: asymmetric hydrosilylation, copper hydride, microwave irradiation.
