Mercury derivatives optically active

The formation of an optically active sily 1-mercurial derivative 15 has also been reported (29) (eq. [10]). 

The isolation of an optically active silyl-mercurial derivative has also been reported95 (equation 28). 

The treatment of an optically active hydrosilane with di-t-butyl mercury led to a silyl mercurial in apparently low optical purity. It is noteworthy that the silyl-mercurial derivative underwent thermal racemisation.
