Abstract
The protonation of prochiral exocyclic double bonds in cyclohexa-2,4-d ieneiron(0) complexes introduces a chiral centre adjacent to the emerg ent eta(5)-cyclobexadienyliron(1+) portion of the product. This reacti on has been shown to be fully diastereoselective. The stereochemical c ourse of the reaction has been elucidated by X-ray crystallography and correlated with a complementary procedure starting from dienol comple xes. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
