Abstract:
Catalytic hydrosilylation of 1,1-disubstituted enamides is one of the most challenging and synthetically useful processes in organosilicon chemistry and asymmetric catalysis. Herein, we report a rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydrosilylation of α-arylenamides with substituted hydrosilanes with the aid of chiral P-ligand, including newly developed spirophosphite ligands, giving various chiral β-silylated amides in excellent yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities (98:2 er after recrystallization). In addition, chiral β-silylated amines can be obtained by further functionalization of the hydrosilylation product.

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...
