Iridium(I)-catalysed asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketones using a chiral oxazolylferrocene-phosphine hybrid ligand
Abstract
The chiral oxazolylferrocene-phosphine hybrid ligand(DIPOF) is a very effective ligand for IrI-catalysed asymmetric hydrosilylation of simple ketones to give the corresponding sec-alcohols(up to 96% ee) after acid hydrolysis.
