The recent synthesis and application of silicon-stereogenic silanes: a renewed and significant challenge in asymmetric synthesis.

The synthesis of silicon-stereogenic silanes is undoubtedly one of the most intriguing and challenging aspects in organic chemistry and organosilicon chemistry and is neglected by chemists to some extent. This critical review will focus on the recent exciting advances in the synthesis of silicon-stereogenic silane and outline the application of these chiral silanes in asymmetric synthesis (89 references).
