Y. Uozumi et al., REGIOSELECTIVE AND ENANTIOSELECTIVE HYDROSILYLATION OF 1-ARYLALKENES BY USE OF PALLADIUM-MOP CATALYST, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 4(12), 1993, pp. 2419-2422
Hydrosilylation of styrenes bearing beta-substituents with trichlorosi
lane was catalyzed by a palladium complex (0.1 mol %) coordinated with
(R)-2-methoxy-2'-diphenylphosphino-1,1'-binaphthyl ((R)-MeO-MOP) to g
ive high yields of optically active 1-aryl-1-silylalkanes (80 similar
to 85% ee) as single regioisomers. The resulting silanes were readily
converted into the corresponding optically active alcohols (80 similar
to 99% yield).
