The reaction of meso-(2,4-hexadien-1,6-dial)Fe(CO)3 complex 1 with several alkylzincs in the presence of 50 mol% of (S)-(+)diphenyl(1- methylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methanol 6a proceeded with high enantiotopic group- and diastereotopic face-selectivity to give (2R,6S)-alcohol complexes 2a-c as major products, except in the case with dimethylzinc (>90% de and >98% ee). On the otherhand, the methylation of 1 with Me2Zn proceeded with high enantioselectivity by adding 1.8 equiv. of Ti(Oi-Pr)4 in the presence of 3 tool% of (S,S)- 1,2-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonamide)cyclohexane 9a (82% de, 96% ee). The enantioselective alkylation was also applied to the kinetic resolution of racemic (sorbic aldehyde)Fe(CO)3 complex 10.

(figure presented) Lanthanide triflates along with proline-derived ligands have been found to be efficient catalysts for enantioselective conjugate addition of nucleophilic radicals to enoates. N-Acyl oxazolidinones, when used as achiral additives, gave meaningful enhancements in the ees for the product.
