Prochiral silaethylene intermediates react with induction.' For a long time silicon analogues of unchiral alcohols to give unequal amounts of diastereomeric saturated compounds were believed to be nonexistent.2 pairs of alkoxysilanes (up to 30% enantiomeric excess); However, in the last few years evidence for the transient this is the first example of asymmetric induction observed existence of these n-bonded silicon molecules has been at a silicon centre involving a trigonal silicon species, found through kinetic and spectral studies and also by trapping reaction^.^ This communication reports the IN organic chemistry a trigonal carbon centre is one of the first examples of asymmetric induction in the addition of most important of prochiral sites allowing asymmetric chiral alcohols to prochiral silaethylenes. 7For other accounts of this work see G.
