Sumario:Optical isomerism at stereogenic centers and geometrical isomerism in alkenes are foundational concepts in stereochemistry. Achieving precise control over Z and E configurations in alkene synthesis has long posed a significant challenge in synthetic chemistry, especially when simultaneous enantioselectivity is required [(Z,R), (Z,S), (E,R), (E,S)]. In this study, we employed Si-stereogenic vinylsilanes as a model to demonstrate the enantioconvergent synthesis of Si-stereogenic centers and the Z/E-selective synthesis of alkenes within a unified catalytic system. A series of bifunctional chiral silanes, featuring both a vinyl group and a Si–O moiety, were synthesized successfully in high yields with excellent enantioselectivity and Z/E selectivity. This achievement was made possible through an enantioconvergent Si–H/O–H coupling reaction involving racemic alkynyl monohydrosilanes and simple alcohols. The appropriate control of reaction time allows the convenient assembly of Si-stereogenic cis- or trans-vinylsilanes.
