Abstract
AbstractFunctionalization of Si‐bound methyl group provides an efficient access to diverse organosilanes. However, the asymmetric construction of silicon‐stereogenic architectures by functionalization of Si‐bound methyl group has not yet been described despite recent significant progress in producing chiral silicon. Herein, we disclosed the enantioselective silylmethyl functionalization involving the aryl to alkyl 1,5‐palladium migration to access diverse naphthalenes possessing an enantioenriched stereogenic silicon center, which are inaccessible before. It is worthy to note that the realization of asymmetric induction at the step of metal migration itself remains challenging. Our study constitutes the first enantioselective aryl to alkyl 1,5‐palladium migration reaction. The key to the success is the discovery and fine‐tuning of the different substituents of α,α,α,α‐tetraaryl‐1,3‐dioxolane‐4,5‐dimethanol (TADDOL)‐based phosphoramidites, which ensure the enantioselectivity and desired reactivity.
