Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrosilylation of 1,3-dienes

Advances in the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrosilylation of 1,3-dienes are presented according to substrate types and chiral monophosphine ligands. Chiral monodentate phosphine ligands with a binaphthyl moiety have been proven to be the most efficient ligands for cyclic 1,3-dienes, and planar chiral ferrocenylmonophosphine ligands with two ferrocenyl moieties for linear 1,3-dienes. The ferrocenylmonophosphine ligands have expanded the substrate scope to 1,3-enynes in the asymmetric hydrosilylation. Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrosilylation of 1,3-dienes and 1,3-enynes leads to the stereoselective synthesis of allylsilanes and allenylsilanes, respectively.
