High yields and enantioselectivities are obtained in a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation in which the CO bond of alcohols, silyl ethers, and acetals are substituted by a CC bond. For example, the racemic indanyl silyl ether 1 is converted into (S)-2 in the presence of the chiral Lewis acidic TiIV complex 3.
