M. Sawamura et al., ASYMMETRIC HYDROSILYLATION OF KETO ESTERS CATALYZED BY A RHODIUM COMPLEX WITH TRANS-CHELATING CHIRAL DIPHOSPHINE ETTRAP, Synlett, (4), 1995, pp. 347-348
Asymmetric hydrosilylation of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-keto esters wit
h diphenylsilane in the presence of 1 mol% of a rhodium catalyst conta
ining trans-chelating chiral phosphine ligand EtTRAP gave optically ac
tive alcohols with enantiomeric excesses ranging between 32-93%.
