Ad. Ryabov et al., ACCESS TO PLANAR CHIRALITY THROUGH CYCLOPLATINATION OF ((DIMETHYLAMINO)METHYL)FERROCENE BY CIS-[PTCL2(SOMEAR)(2)] (AR = PHENYL, P-TOLYL), Organometallics, 17(16), 1998, pp. 3615-3618
A reaction between ((dimethylamino)methyl)ferrocene and the enantiomer
ically pure complex cis-[PtCl2(S-SOMeC6H4Me-p)(2)] affords the two eas
ily separable cycloplatinated SsRp and SsSp diastereoisomers 4 and 5,
respectively. The absolute configuration of 4 was established by an X-
ray study. Diastereomers 4 and 5 react with PPh3 to give enantiomers w
ith the planar chirality only.
