Catalytic Asymmetric Hydrosilylation of 1,3-Dienes with New Chiral Ferrocenylphosphine-Palladium Complexes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0957-4166(00)82367-8

A palladium catalyst coordinated with optically active ferrocenylmonophosphine ligand containing perfluoroalkyl group on the aminoethyl side chain was found to be highly catalytically active and stereoselective for the asymmetric hydrosilylation of several types of conjugated dienes with trichlorosilane to give optically active allylsilanes of over 60percent ee.
