Siliranes undergo stereoselective and regioselective insertions of benzaldehyde to provide oxasilacyclopentane products. The thermal reaction (>100°C) leads to more decomposition and side products, whereas the catalyzed variant (t-BuOK, 95%). Treatment of siliranes with enolizable aldehydes leads to silyl enol ethers. The reaction of a silirane at high temperatures with an imine leads to reductive dimerization, presumably by way of intermediate-free silylene. The mechanism for the catalyzed insertion of benzaldehyde is discussed.

A series of Ni(II) complexes with novel chiral ligands derived from (1R,2R)-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine was synthesized. The catalytic activity of these complexes in the asymmetric Michael reaction is demonstrated. Asymmetric addition of diethyl malonate to ω-nitrostyrene and 1-nitropent-1-ene in the presence of these complexes leads to the enantiomerically enriched diethyl (S)-2-(2-nitro-1-phenylethyl)malonate (up to 96 % ee) and (R)-diethyl 2-(1-nitropenthan-2-yl)malonate (up to 91 % ee). (4R)-4-Propylpyrrolidin-2-one, the key intermediate of antiepileptic drug brivaracetam, was obtained from the corresponding nitroester.

Zinc acetate complexes with a chiral diphenylethylenediamine (DPEDA)-derived ligand have been proved to be efficient catalysts for the enantioselective hydrosilylation of aryl ketones. Replacing pyrophoric dialkylzinc with the readily available zinc salt simplifies the procedures and provides excellent conversions (up to >99%) and enantioselectivities (ees up to 97%).
