Abstract
L-Piperazine-2-carboxylic acid derived N-formamides are highly enantioselective Lewis basic catalysts for the hydrosilylation of imines with trichlorosilane. High isolated yields and enantioselectivities were obtained for a broad range of substrates, including aromatic and aliphatic ketimines.
