Abstract

Abstract Image

A new synthetic method for chiral organosilicon compounds through a rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to β-silyl α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds has been developed. By employing (R,R)-Bn-bod* as a ligand, a range of arylboronic acids can be coupled with these substrates in very high enantiomeric excess. The resulting β-silyl 1,4-adducts can be converted to β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds or allylsilanes while retaining their stereochemical information.
