Abstract

A chiral spiro-bisoxazoline ligand has proven to be an optimal ligand for an asymmetric iron-catalyzed enantioselective Si-H bond insertion reaction of α-diazoesters to provide chiral α-silyl esters in good yields with high enantioselectivities. The reaction proceeds via a concerted quintet transition state.
