Palladium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Synthesis of Silicon-Stereogenic Dibenzosiloles via Enantioselective C–H Bond Functionalization

Abstract
A Pd-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of Si-stereogenic dibenzosiloles is developed through enantioselective C–H bond functionalization of prochiral 2-(arylsilyl)aryl triflates. High chemo- and enantioselectivities are achieved by employing a Josiphos-type ligand under mild conditions.
