Abstract

Chiral diamines were used in the enantioselective hydrosilylation of prochiral aromatic and aliphatic ketones. Some of these ligands combine chiral backbones and chiral N, N′-α- phenylethyl substituents that give rise to synergistic effects between these two groups and lead to catalysts that exhibit high enantioselectivity.
