Catalytic asymmetric silicon-carbon bond-forming transformations based on Si–H functionalization

In view of the exciting advancement on silicon-carbon bond-forming transformations achieved in past decade, this review intends to show a unified illustration recent findings enantioselective Si-H bond functionalization aided by asymmetric catalysis. Accordingly, describes functionalization, focusing reactivity and stereoselectivity catalytic hydrosilylation, carbene insertion, silylation, Si-C cross-coupling reactions that were with high enantioselectivity presence transition-metal catalyst systems. This highlights representative examples discusses origins silicon-involving stereoselectivities, evaluates substrate scopes limitations these due special different hydrosilanes.
