Optically active silanes were synthesized by a novel asymmetric synthesis which involved the diastereoselective ring-opening reaction of 1,3-dioxa-2-silacycloheptanes bearing a C2 chiral auxiliary with Grignard reagents, followed by a lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) reduction. (R)-Ethylmethylphenylsilane and (R)-methylphenylpropylsilane were derived in 93%ee and 98%ee, respectively. The preparation of the other optical silanes is also described. The maximum rotations of some of them have been determined by 1H NMR and/or capillary GC methods. A mechanism for a diastereoselective ring-opening reaction is proposed based on the stereochemical results.
