New P∩P- and P∩N-ligands have been synthesised whose core structure is an [(η6-arene)Cr(CO)3] unit. These new ligands, which extend the range of "Daniphos" ligands, are endowed with central and planar chirality and have been prepared through a stereoselective synthetic strategy from optically pure benzylamines bearing a second substituent on the arene other than the benzyldimethylamino group. Because the two faces of unsymmetrically 1,2- and 1,3-disubstituted benzylamine are diastereotopic, which means that diastereomeric complexes arise upon coordination of the Cr(CO) 3 fragment to either of these two faces, the synthetic plan has been adjusted by exploiting the trimethylsilyl group as a temporary steric modulator in order to access both complexes with high diastereoselectivity.
