F. Rose-munch et al., Two-step synthesis of homochiral monoaminals of tricarbonylphthalaldehydechromium complex, CHEM COMMUN, (20), 1999, pp. 2061-2062
Tricarbonylphthalaldehydechromium complex can be prepared using a 'one pot'
procedure starting from tricarbonylbenzenechromium: the protection of one
aldehyde function by chiral diamines leads to the formation of two diastere
oisomers of the monoaminal of the phthlaldehyde complexes, efficient precur
sors of enantiopure ortho-substituted alkenyl arene complexes.
