Optically active α-amino organosilanes such as benzylmethyl(o- or p-tolyl)silylmethylamine were converted into benzylmethylphenyl(o- or p-tolyl)silane, of which the configurations had been known.From these observations, it was found that (+)- and (-)-benzylmethyl(o- or p-tolyl)silylmethylamine has S and R configuration respectively.Furthermore, the stereochemistry of the reaction of benzylmethyl(methoxy)phenylsilane with some organometallic agents was investigated.
