The analysis of patterns of regioselectivity in cyclohexadienyl complexes i
llustrates the versatility and power of the iron-based methodology in react
ion sequences that make multiple use of the metal to establish a series of
chiral centres, The conversion of tricarbonyl(eta (4)-cyclohexadienone)iron
(0) into the dimethyl malonate adduct 4, which contains two chiral centres
at carbon besides the controlling chirality of the tricarbonyliron complex
itself, provides an example of long-range asymmetric induction. The relativ
e stereochemistry of the 1,3/1',2' product has been defined as S,S,R*,R*. C
