Copper-Catalyzed Enantioselective Hydrosilylation of Allenes to Access Axially Chiral (Cyclohexylidene)ethyl Silanes

A novel strategy of copper-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective hydrosilylation of 4-substituted vinylidenecyclohexanes with silanes was developed. In this protocol, various allenes and silanes were used to afford the corresponding (cyclohexylidene)ethyl silanes in moderate to high yields with good enantioselectivities.
