The regioselective and enantioselective intermolecular sp3 C-H functionalization of silicon-substituted alkanes with aryl diazoacetates was accomplished using the recently developed dirhodium catalyst Rh2( S-TPPTTL)4. These reactions generate a diverse array of stereodefined substituted silacycloalkanes with high enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity.
