title: Nonracemic diarylmethanols from CuH-catalyzed hydrosilylation of diaryl ketones.
abstract: An efficient method for the synthesis of nonracemic diarylmethanols has been developed. The use of ( R)-(-)-(DTBM-SEGPHOS)CuH effects highly enantioselective 1,2-hydrosilylation of prochiral diaryl ketones.
