ABSTRACT: Abstract
Chiral acyclic and macrocyclic amines derived from trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane in complexes with diethylzinc efficiently catalyze asymmetric hydrosilylation of aryl-alkyl and aryl-aryl ketones with enantiomeric excess of the product up to 86 %. A trianglamine ligand with a cyclic structure or the presence of an additional coordinating group increases the enantioselectivity of the reaction, in comparison with catalysis by a simple acyclic N,N'-dibenzyl-1,2-diaminocyclohexane ligand. In addition, the effect of the asymmetric activation of the catalyst by a variety of alcohols and diols is studied.Graphical abstract
