Mb. Carter et al., ENANTIOSELECTIVE HYDROSILYLATION OF KETONES WITH A CHIRAL TITANOCENE CATALYST, Journal of the American Chemical Society, 116(26), 1994, pp. 11667-11670
The first efficient asymmetric hydrosilylation of aromatic ketones wit
h an early transition metal chiral catalyst affords alcohols with exce
llent enantioselectivity. The reaction is general for aromatic ketones
and exhibits a moderate degree of functional group compatibility.
