Constructing Tertiary Alcohols with Vicinal Stereocenters: Highly Diastereo- and Enantioselective Cyanosilylation of α-Branched Acyclic Ketones and Their Kinetic Resolution

We report the first highly diastereo- and enantioselective C–C bond-forming reaction of racemic α-branched ketones to construct tertiary alcohols with adjacent stereocenters. Accordingly, a highly ...
