35. To the best of our knowledge, a single kinetic resolution process of racemic silyl ethers based on the reductive cleavage of the silicon-oxygen bond by chiral hydride reagents has been reported so far. However, enantiomeric excesses were determined from the optical rotatory power, which emerges as being sensitive towards impurities of the chiral ligand. In our hands, application of this method to a derivative of rac-5 provided only marginal optical enrichment (< 1% ee): a) A. Holt, A. W. P. Jarvis, G. J. Jarvis, Tetrahedron Lett. 1968, 4087-4088;
