C. Ganter et al., Cyclopentadienyl-substituted phosphaferrocenes: Synthesis of a bis(phosphaferrocene) P,P-chelate ligand, ORGANOMETAL, 18(26), 1999, pp. 5444-5446
The novel bis(phosphaferrocene)-substituted ferrocene 4 has been prepared f
rom the corresponding cyclopentadienide 3 and shown to act as a P,P-chelate
ligand in the Mo(CO)(4) comptex 5, which was structurally characterized. E
nantiomerically pure (S,S)-4 was used as ligand in the catalytic asymmetric
allylic substitution.
