RHODIUM(I)-CATALYZED ASYMMETRIC HYDROSILYLATION OF KETONES USING NEW DIFERROCENYL DICHALCOGENIDES (R,S)-([EC(5)H(3)CHME(NME(2))]FE(C5H5))(2) (E=S, SE, TE), AS CHIRAL LIGANDS
Y. Nishibayashi et al., RHODIUM(I)-CATALYZED ASYMMETRIC HYDROSILYLATION OF KETONES USING NEW DIFERROCENYL DICHALCOGENIDES (R,S)-([EC(5)H(3)CHME(NME(2))]FE(C5H5))(2) (E=S, SE, TE), AS CHIRAL LIGANDS, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (11), 1994, pp. 1375-1376
The new chiral compounds, (R,S)-di[2-(1-dimethylaminoethyl)ferrocenyl]
dichalcogenides (R,S)-{[EC(5)H(3)CHMe(NMe(2))]Fe(C5H5)}, (E = S, Se,
Te), work effectively as chiral ligands for the rhodium(i)-catalysed a
symmetric hydrosilylation of alkyl aryl ketones resulting in high enan
tiomeric excess and moderate chemical yields.
