We report highly enantioselective intramolecular, silylations of unactivated, primary C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-H bonds. The reactions form dihydrobenzosiloles in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities by functionalization of enantiotopic methyl groups under mild conditions. The reaction is catalyzed by an iridium complex generated from [Ir(COD)OMe]<sub>2</sub> and chiral dinitrogen ligands that we recently disclosed. The C-Si bonds in the enantioenriched dihydrobenzosiloles were further transf ...[more]
