Abstract
A novel process for the efficient, enantioselective hydrosilylation of ketimines based on catalytic amounts of copper hydride, (R)-DTBM-SEGPHOS, and an inexpensive silane (tetramethyldisiloxane, TMDS) has been developed. The resulting products are converted to their free-base form upon mild hydrolysis.
