Rhodium‐Catalyzed Enantioselective Silylation of Arene C—H Bonds: Desymmetrization of Diarylmethanols.

The hydrosilylation of symmetrical benzophenones (II) and (X) with diethylsilane followed by Rh-catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular silylation gives rise to chiral benzoxasiloles (IV) and (XI), respectively.
