Abstract

Herein we present magnetically recoverable and reusable copper ferrite nanoparticles for asymmetric hydrosilylation of several ketones. Up to 99% enantiometric excess was obtained at room temperature using polymethylhydrosiloxane as the stoichiometric reducing agent. The copper ferrite nanoparticles were magnetically separated, and the efficiency of the catalyst remains almost unaltered up to three cycles.
