Examples of asymmetric hydrosilylation of alkenes performed in the presence of chiral sulfur-containing ligands are much rarer in literature than... 

The Pd/MOP combination has proved active for the asymmetric hydrosilylation of cyclic alkenes and dienes. Thus treatment of norbornene with HSiCl3 at 0 °C for 24 h in the presence of 0.01 mol.% of M eO-MOIV[Pd(// -C3H5)Cl]2 gave quantitative yield of evo-2-(trichlorosilyl)norbornane oxidation produced the corresponding alcohol in 93% ee (Equation (12)). Lowering the temperature (to — 20 °C) increased this to a 96% ee. Both mono- and difunctionalization of nbd has proved possible, depending upon the quantity of trichlorosilane used (Scheme 22). In both reactions, extremely good enantioselectivities are observed 113...

Another example of the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrosilylation of simple terminal alkene, 1-hexene, was reported recently where rfl-phosphoramidite 21d gave 35% yield of (i )-2-hexanol with 68% ee.45... 

While hydrosilylation of 1-alkenes and HSiCl3 with platinum catalysts provides linear products (1-trichlorosilylalkanes), palladium chloride modified with phosphines gives products carrying the trichlorosilyl group at the secondary carbon. This is highly remarkable because all other metal complexes studied so far lead to 1-substituted products. This regioselectivity leads to the possibility to carry out asymmetric hydrosilylation. 

Other silicon derivatives containing Si—X—C bonds (where X is O and/or N) can be successfully prepared by using iridium-catalyzed reachons such as the asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketones and amines, the silylcarbonylation of alkenes, and the alcoholysis of Si—H bonds. Indeed, oxygenation of the latter bond to silanol also proceeds smoothly in the presence of iridium compounds. 

Alkenes. Most Group VIII metals, metal salts, and complexes may be used as catalyst in hydrosilylation of alkenes. Platinum and its derivatives show the highest activity. Rhodium, nickel, and palladium complexes, although less active, may exhibit unique selectivities. The addition is exothermic and it is usually performed without a solvent. Transition-metal complexes with chiral ligands may be employed in asymmetric hydrosilylation 406,422... 

Asymmetric hydrosilylation of prochiral carbonyl compounds, imines, alkenes and 1,3-dienes has been extensively studied and continues to be one of the most important subjects in the hydrosilylation reactions. This topic has been reviewed at each stage of its development as a useful synthetic method based on asymmetric catalytic processes1,3,187-189. In the last decade, however, substantial progress has been made in the efficiency of this reaction. Accordingly, this section summarizes the recent advances in this reaction.
