Optically active isonitrile ligand for palladium-catalyzed enantioselective bis-silylation of carbon-carbon double bonds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(96)02370-2

Intramolecular bis-silylation of homoallylic alcohols proceeded enantioselectively in the presence of a catalyst prepared from Pd(acac), and optically active isonitriles, derived from a common chiral source, (+)-ketopinic acid.
