Chiral base-mediated benzylic functionalisation of (alkyl benzyl ether)tricarbonylchromium(0) complexes

Asymmetric functionalisation of the benzylic methylene group in tricarbonylchromium(0) complexes of alkyl benzyl ethers [(PhCH2OR)(CO)3Cr0] is achieved in high yield (86-96%) and high enantiomeric excess (ee) (97 to ≥99%)

Asymmetric functionalisation of tricarbonylchromium(0) complexes of arenes by non-racemic chiral bases

Non-racemic chiral bases have been proven to be of significant use in the synthesis of a wide range of enantiomerically enriched organic molecules. Their use in the synthesis of organometallic reagents and catalysts, however, is still in its infancy. This article reviews one of the first areas of organometallic chemistry to be examined in this context, i.e. asymmetric functionalisation of tricarbonylchromium(0) complexes of arenes using non- racemic chiral bases.
