Significance

Palladium-catalyzed hydrosilation giving perfect stereoselectivity has been accomplished. A chirality transfer from silicon to carbon resulting in asymmetric amplification and highly optical pure products is the result. A positive non-linear effect has implied a matched mismatched scenario involved in the proposed mechanism.
