Optically active α-hydroxysilanes are regarded as a kind of chiral organometallic compound with a functional group. These molecules and their derivatives have been utilized for stereocontrolled CÀC bond formation and rearrangement, which resulted in a variety of chiral organic compounds.[1–5] Asymmetric reduction of acyl silanes is a straightforward method to produce the chiral secondary α-hydroxysilanes. Hydroboration with B-chlorodiisopinocampheylborane (Ipc2BCl) is the most widely used method for this important transformation.[1, 3a, 4d–h, 5–7] The chiral oxazaborolidine reagent is effective for the reaction of acetylenic acyl silanes.[4i, j, 5] A chiral lithium amide reduces α, β-unsaturated acyl silanes with excellent enantioselectivity.[8] However, these procedures require more than one equivalent of the chiral reagent to the substrate.A recently reported transfer hydrogenation catalyzed by an arene/N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1, 2-diphenylethylenediamine (Ts-dpen) RuII complex using 2-propanol as a reducing agent is effective for aromatic acyl silanes.[3c] Although this is the only catalytic chemical process for this reaction, the substrateto-catalyst molar ratio (S/C) of 33–200 is not satisfactory for practical use. Asymmetric microbial reductions are reported to exhibit high stereoselectivity merely for specific acyl silane substrates.[3b, 9] Thus, the development of an efficient procedure for the catalytic asymmetric reduction of acyl silanes is highly desirable. Hydrogenation possesses advantages over many other reduction methods from the atom-economical and practical points of view.[10] Herein, we disclose for the first time the highly enantioselective hydrogenation of acyl silanes catalyzed by Tolbinap/pica RuII complexes.[11, 12] The reaction is conducted with a S/C value as high as 10 000 under 10 atm of H2. A series of benzylic, aliphatic, and allylic α-hydroxysilanes is obtained in up to 99% ee.
