Iron‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrosilylation of 1,1‐Disubstituted Alkenes

Abstract

Abstract The highly regio‐ and enantioselective iron‐catalyzed anti‐Markovnikov hydrosilylation of 1,1‐disubstituted aryl alkenes was developed using iminopyridine oxazoline ligands to afford chiral organosilanes. Additional derivatization of these products lead to chiral organosilanols, cyclic silanes, phenol derivatives, and 3‐substituted 2,3‐dihydrobenzofurans.
