Abstract:
An asymmetric synthesis of silicon-stereogenic monohydrosilanes by rhodium-catalyzed dehydrogenative C-H silylation is developed. The process is suitable for the synthesis of various asymmetrically trisubstituted 1H-benzosiloles and 1H-benzosilolometallocenes in good yields with excellent chemo-, regio-, and stereocontrol. These selected silicon-stereogenic 1H-benzosilole compounds exhibit bright blue fluorescence and CPL (circular polarized luminescence) signals, which could be attractive to practitioners of materials science.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
