Carbene-catalyzed activation of C-Si bonds for chemo- and enantioselective cross Brook–Benzoin reaction

The first carbene-catalyzed asymmetric chemoselective cross silyl benzoin (Brook-Benzoin) reaction has been developed. Key steps of this reaction involve activation of the carbon-silicon bond of an acylsilane by a chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyst to form a silyl acyl anion intermediate....
