摘要：SummaryAn iron-catalyzed highly anti-Markovnikov selective, enantioselective hydrosilylation of vinylcyclopropanes with PhSiH3was reported for the preparation of valuable chiral allylic silanes via stereospecific C-C bond cleavage. Simultaneously, difficultly prepared chiral VCPs could be also obtained with moderate to excellent enantioselectivity via this kinetic resolution pathway. The chiralZ-allylic silanes could be converted to various chiral allylic derivatives. A possible mechanism via an iron-silyl species was proposed based on experimental and computational studies.Graphical AbstractDisplay OmittedHighlights•Iron-catalyzed 1,5-hydrosilylation of VCPs via C-C bond cleavage was first established•Chiral allyl silanes and chiral VCPs were obtained with high enantioselectivity•Various chiral allylic derivatives were delivered from chiralZ-allylic silanes•A possible mechanism via an iron-silyl species was proposedCatalysis; Organic Chemistry; Organic Synthesis
