Disclosed here is a catalytic strategy for asymmetric access to chiral tetrasubstituted silicon-stereogenic silanes. Our reaction starts with a (covalently) symmetric silane bearing two aldehyde moieties as the substrate. Single-crystal structural analysis shows that the substrate exists as a racema...
