Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric silaboration of allenes
An enantioselective silaboration of allenes was achieved using an achiral silylborane in the presence of a palladium catalyst bearing a chiral monodentate phosphine ligand. (R)-2-Bis(3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphino-1,1-binaphthyl gave the highest enantiosele
