Utility of a diene–tricarbonyliron complex as mobile chiral auxiliary: iterative use for constructing contiguous chiral centers

Abstract

Three stereogenic centers bearing azide, methoxy, and ethylthio groups, have been constructed stereoselectively using the sole chirality of the Fe(CO)₃ group with concurrent 1,2-migration of the Fe(CO)₃ group and the obtained product was converted to an anti-aminoalcohol derivative to determine the absolute stereochemistry.
