Abstract

Enantioselective Synthesis of Optically Active 3,3-Diarylpropanoates by Conjugate Hydrosilylation with Chiral Rh-Bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl Catalysts. -RHC efficiently promotes the asymmetric hydrosilylation of 3,3-diarylacrylates. After acidic work-up diarylpropanoates are obtained in high optical purity. -(ITOH, K.; TSURUTA, A.; ITO, J.-I.; YAMAMOTO, Y.; NISHIYAMA*, H.; J. Org.
