iodides and alkylzinc reagents is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by NiCl2/(S, S)‐Bn‐
Pybox and yields α‐chiral silanes with high enantiocontrol. The catalyst system does not
promote the cross‐coupling of the corresponding carbon analogue, corroborating the
stabilizing effect of the silyl group on the alkyl radical intermediate (α‐silicon effect). Both
coupling partners can be, but do not need to be, functionalized, and hence, even α‐chiral …
