Significance

The authors disclose synthetic methods for the preparation of tertiary and quaternary allyl- and crotylsilanes. A lithiation-borylation sequence of alkyl carbamates with silaboronates leads to tertiary silanes with high enantiomeric and diastereomeric ratios. The quaternary allyl­silanes were obtained after a sequential lithiation-silylation and lithiation-borylation procedure with comparable enantiomeric ratios.
