Abstract

Asymmetric hydrosilylation of symmetrical diketones with diphenylsilane in the presence of catalytic amount ([substrate]/[catalyst] = 100) of rhodium complex coordinated with trans-chelating chiral phosphine ligand EtTRAP gave corresponding optically active symmetrical diols with high enantiomeric excesses.
