All articles of this category The asymmetric catalytic hydrosilylation of prochiral ketones with HSi(OEt) 3 using ( R )-BINOL-Ti(O- i -Pr) 2 as a precatalyst is shown to proceed in excellent yields. Although the observed levels of enantioselectivity were moderate (up to 55% ee), an interesting phenomenon of ”enantioselective autoinduction” was observed. binaphthol-titanium complex - asymmetric catalysis - hydrosilylation - enantioselective autoinduction
