Catalytic asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketones using rhodium-(I)-complexes of chiral phosphinooxazoline ligands

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0957-4166(96)00192-9

(Phosphinooxazoline)rhodium(I) complexes, prepared in situ with ligand:Rh molar ratio of 1.3:1, were applied as catalysts in hydrosilylations of a variety of ketones to yield secondary alcohols with moderate to good enantioselectivities. Copyright
