title: Synthesis of optically active tertiary silanes via Pd-catalyzed enantioselective arylation of secondary silanes.
abstract: We herein describe the development of an efficient enantioselective catalytic system that promotes the arylation of secondary silanes. Our method involves treatment of secondary silanes and aryl iodides with a Pd(2)(dba)(3)-asymmetric phosphoramidite ligand system to afford optically active tertiary silanes with good enantioselectivities.
