The research addresses the reaction of terminal alkenes and propene with AlR3 (R = Me, Et) in the presence of chiral Zr complexes, rac-[Y(η5-C9H10)2]ZrCl2 (Y = C2H4, SiMe2) or (NMI)2ZrCl2 (NMI- η5–neomenthylindenyl), and methylaluminoxane. The effect of reaction conditions, catalyst and trialkylalane structure on the substrate conversion and the reaction chemo- and stereoselectivity has been studied. The reaction predominantly goes via the stage of alkene methyl(ethyl)zirconation with subsequent introduction of substrate molecules into the Zr-C bond. As a result, a diastereoselective one-pot method for the synthesis of functionally substituted linear terminal alkene dimers and propene oligomers was developed.
