Rw. Baker et Bj. Wallace, Enantiospecific synthesis of a planar chiral bidentate indenyl-alkoxide complex of zirconium using an axially chiral indene ligand, CHEM COMMUN, (15), 1999, pp. 1405-1406
The reaction of axially chiral (M)-1-(2'-methyl-3'-indenyl)- naphthalene-2-
methanol 3 with Zr(NEt2)(4) enantiospecifically provides the planar chiral
complex (P)-bis(diethylamido)-[1-(2'-methyl-1'-indenyl)naphthalene-2-methox
o]-zirconium 7.
