Enantiomerically pure α-silyl substituted ketones can be easily prepared via the SAMP/RAMP hydrazone method starting from simple and cheap ketones and silylating reagents. These compounds are very useful precursors for the regio- and stereoselective formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds with very high asymmetric inductions in many cases. A great variety of important organic reactions using α-silyl ketones as well as α-silyl aldehydes and their application for the synthesis of bioactive compounds are presented.
