The synthesis of low-valent tungsten (0 and II) complexes bearing chiral bidentate phosphino-oxazoline or bisoxazoline ligands is described.The structures of four of the complexes have been determined by single crystal X-ray analyses.Tungsten(II)-allyl complexes of the type (PN = phosphino-oxazoline) are fluxional in solution, but can be crystallized as single diastereoisomers.The complex , which also crystallizes as a single diastereomer, is readily oxidized in solution and solid state, in stark contrast to analogous compounds bearing four carbonyl ligands or (NN = bisoxazoline) which were found to be stable. functions as a highly enantioselective catalyst in allylic substitution reactions with dimethyl sodiomalonate, whereas complexes of the type (Z = H, Ph; X = Cl, Br) failed to yield allylic alkylation products. - Keywords: Chiral Tungsten Complexes, Phosphino-oxazoline Ligands, Bisoxazoline Ligands, Tungsten Allyl Complexes, Asymmetric Catalysis
