Abstract
The preparation and reactions of several new (eta(3)-allyl)molybdenum complexes are described. Functionalization of a carbon-carbon double b ond adjacent to the pi-allyl unit proceeds stereoselectively, and the stereochemical outcome of this reaction is discussed in light of the C urtin-Hammett principle. It is shown that carbonyl groups can also be functionalized with moderate stereoselectivity, and this behavior is r ationalized on the basis of conformational analysis using molecular me chanics calculations.
