Abstract
alpha-Silyl-alpha-substituted acetic esters have been prepared in good yields and reasonable diastereoselectivities using an asymmetric meta l carbene insertion into the Si-H bond. Optically active 1,2-diols wer e then prepared after reduction of the ester and conversion of the C-S i bond into a C-OH bond.
