Prochiral silanes: Recent work has demonstrated the powerful potential of enantioselective desymmetrization catalyzed by transition‐metal complexes in the stereoselective formation of silicon‐stereogenic silanes. These methods offer new possibilities for asymmetric synthesis of any functionalized ch...
