“…Since Matsumura's seminal work, that employed N-formylproline-derived catalysts [33,34], and the milestone achieved by Malkov and Kočovský with their N-methyl-L -valine-based catalysts [35][36][37], numerous chiral Lewis-base catalysts have been reported for the asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketimines with trichlorosilane (selected reviews; [30][31][32], selected references; [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]). While the majority of these catalysts are amide-based Lewis-bases, other kinds of Lewis-bases are also reported, which includes pyridine N-oxides (selected references; [46][47][48][49][50][51]), phosphine oxides (selected references; [52][53][54]), and sulfinamides (selected references; [55,56]). Despite a plethora of reports in this area, the Lewis-base-catalyzed trichlorosilane-mediated reduction of ketimines currently remains limited to N-aryl and alkyl protected ones (Scheme 1, Equation ( 2)).…”
