The first catalytic desymmetrization in the field of allylsilane chemistry is presented. Desymmetrization of cyclohexadienyltriisopropoxysilane is achieved using coppper catalysis. High diastereo- and enantioselectivities are obtained, and the product dienes are highly valuable building blocks for natural product synthesis.
