Abstract:
A palladium complex coordinated with a chiral SIPHOS ligand was evaluated as an efficient catalyst for asymmetric hydrosilylation of β-silyl styrenes with trichlorosilane and 23 1,2-bis(silyl) chiral compounds were produced. Good to excellent enantioselectivities were observed with 1-aryl-2-silyl ethanols, where the trichlorosilyl groups of the hydrosilylation products were selectively converted into a hydroxyl group in the presence of pre-installed trialkylsilyl groups. Asymmetric hydrosilylation of β-silyl styrenes followed by methylation of the trichlorosilyl group gave stable 1,2-bis(silyl) chiral compounds 4 with excellent yields. DFT calculations of hydridopalladium B coordinated with a SIPHOS ligand, an intermediate of the hydrosilylation reaction, established the optical structures to be energy minima, and the structural information could well illustrate the enantioselectivity for the hydrosilylation reaction.

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...

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn...

Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
