Desymmetrization Catalyzed by Transition‐Metal Complexes: Enantioselective Formation of Silicon‐Stereogenic Silanes

Prochiral silanes: Recent work has demonstrated the powerful potential of enantioselective desymmetrization catalyzed by transition-metal complexes in the stereoselective formation of silicon-stereogenic silanes. These methods offer new possibilities for asymmetric synthesis of any functionalized chiral silanes that possess tetraorganosilicon stereocenters.
