Abstract:
Enantioenriched hydrosilanes bearing a Si-stereogenic center have garnered considerable attention due to the relevance in diverse areas of organic chemistry. Their synthesis has predominantly been limited to stereospecific reduction of chiral silylethers or silazanes, or catalytic desymmetrization of prochiral dihydrosilanes. Herein, we disclose a mechanistically distinct strategy: a (S, R)-benzotetramisole-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) of racemic chlorohydrosilanes with Grignard reagents. The method enables enantioconvergent Si*─C bond formation, giving Si-stereogenic hydrosilanes-many of which are challenging to access via desymmetrization-in high yields and with high enantioselectivity (34 examples, up to 99% yield, 99:1 er).

Acid Halides to Alcohols: Grignard Reaction
Grignard reagents are a source of carbanions and function as nucleophiles. The mechanism begins with the nucleophilic attack by the carbanion at the carbonyl carbon of the acid halide to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Next, the carbonyl group is re-formed, and the halide ion departs,...
