Y. Takemoto et al., UTILITY OF A DIENE-TRICARBONYLIRON COMPLEX AS MOBILE CHIRAL AUXILIARY- ITERATIVE USE FOR CONSTRUCTING CONTIGUOUS CHIRAL CENTERS, Chemical communications, (17), 1998, pp. 1911-1912
Three stereogenic centers bearing azide, methoxy, and ethylthio groups
, have been constructed stereoselectively using the sole chirality of
the Fe(CO)(3) group with concurrent 1,2-migration of the Fe(CO)(3) gro
up and the obtained product was converted to an anti-aminoalcohol deri
vative to determine the absolute stereochemistry.
