Abstract

The first asymmetric condensation of prochiral silacyclohexanones with hydroxylamines by chiral phosphoric acid catalysis has been developed, which provides a facile and straightforward protocol for the enantioselective construction of valuable axially chiral silacyclohexylidene oxime ethers that are otherwise inaccessible. Notably, this constitutes a rare example for accessing silacycles featuring axial chirality.
