ChemInform Abstract: Enantioselective Hydrosilylation of Acetophenone with Rhodium/Oxazolines Catalysts.

Abstract The chiral pyridyloxazolines (III), prepared from 2‐cyanopyridine (I) and the optically active amino diol (II) or analogues, are employed as ligands in the rhodium catalyzed hydrosilylation of acetophenone (IV) to give the carbinol (R)‐(V).
