Catalyst for: 1Cu / diphosphine-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of heteroaromatic ketones and enones 2Highly selective rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions 3 Classical versus kinetic resolution in preparation of privileged silicon-stereogenic silanaphthalenes. Used for kinetic resolution of donor-functionalized secondary alcohols via Cu-H-catalyzed stereoselective silylation by dehydrogenative Si-O coupling with Si-stereogenic silanes. Used for comparative studies of conformational rigidity of silicon-stereogenic silanes in asymmetric catalysis.
