ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS AND USE IN CATALYTIC ASYMMETRIC ADDITION OF DIETHYLZINC TO BENZALDEHYDE OF NEW CHIRAL CYCLIC HYDROXYAMINO FERROCENE AND CHROMIUM COMPLEXES - INFLUENCE OF THE COMPLEXATION ON THE ENANTIOSELECTIVITY
S. Malfait et al., ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS AND USE IN CATALYTIC ASYMMETRIC ADDITION OF DIETHYLZINC TO BENZALDEHYDE OF NEW CHIRAL CYCLIC HYDROXYAMINO FERROCENE AND CHROMIUM COMPLEXES - INFLUENCE OF THE COMPLEXATION ON THE ENANTIOSELECTIVITY, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 9(15), 1998, pp. 2595-2610
The optically active (arene)chromium complexes (+)-(S,1S)-7-13, (+)-(S
,1S)-20 and ferrocenyl amino alcohol (+)-(S,1S)-14-17 were synthesized
from enantiomerically pure tricarbonyl(1-indanone)chromium (ee>98), t
ricarbonyl(1-tetralone)chromium (ee>99) and 1,2-(alpha-oxotetramethyle
ne)ferrocene (ee>98). These compounds were used as chiral catalysts in
the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde: 1-phenylpropa
nol has been obtained in up to 70% enantiomeric excess. The influence
of the metallic group on the enantioselectivities has been studied. (C
