Catalytic asymmetric C–Si bond activation via torsional strain-promoted Rh-catalyzed aryl-Narasaka acylation

Methods to access atropisomers bearing silanol groups are of value in organic synthesis. Here, the authors report a rhodium-catalyzed torsional strain-promoted asymmetric ring-opening reaction for the synthesis of α-silyl biaryl atropisomers.
