Catalytic enantioselective diboration, disilation and silaboration: new opportunities for asymmetric synthesis

Abstract

This article summarizes recent developments in the area of catalytic enantioselective reactions of unsaturated organic substrates with diboron, silylboron, and disilane reagents. These reactions provide new routes to the functionalization of prochiral substrates and therefore offer new strategies in asymmetric organic synthesis.
