Watch out asymmetric acylation! Non-enzymatic kinetic resolution and desymmetrization by the asymmetric acylation of alcohols has found its rival in the related silylation of alcohols. The scheme shows the two-point binding of the substrate in catalyst- (left) and reagent-controlled stereoselective silylation (right).
