Synthesis of novel axially chiral Rh-NHC complexes derived from BINAM and application in the enantioselective hydrosilylation of methyl ketones.
Novel axially chiral Rh N-heterocyclic carbene complexes were prepared from axially dissymmetric 1,1'-binaphthalenyl-2,2'-diamine and applied in the Rh-catalyzed enantioselective hydrosilylation of methyl ketones. The corresponding sec-alcohols can be obtained in high yields with good to excellent ee.
