Induction of metal-centered chirality by planar chirality in [Fe{η-C₅H₂Me(R¹)(CO₂ R²)}(COR)(CO)(PR₃)] complexes

Abstract

The reaction of planar-chiral (alkyl)(cyclopentadienyl)dicarbonyliron complexes with triphenylphosphine gives [Fe{η-C₅H₂Me(R¹)(CO₂ R²)}(CO)(COR)(PPh₃)] with a high diastereoselectivity (>90%) for the induction of metal-centered chirality.
