Access to highly enantioenriched planar chiral [Cr(5-bromonaphthalene)(CO) 3] (6), [Ru(η5-C5R5)(5- bromonaphthalene)][PF6] (42) and [Ru(η5-C 5R5)(4-bromoindene)] (44) was sought using asymmetric hydrogenolysis of [Cr(5,8-dibromonaphthalene)(CO)3] (5), [Ruη5-C5R5)(5,8-dibromonaphthalene)] (39) and [Ru(η5-C5R5)(4,7-dibromoindene)] (40), respectively. Initial efforts focused on the chromium complex 5. Pd0 catalysts with dimethoxyethane as the solvent and LiBH4 or NaBH 3CN as a hydride source worked best. Nineteen chiral bidentate phosphorus ligands were screened in this reaction. Asymmetric induction was low to modest with product ee's in the range of 4 to 52% and yields of 6 of up to 70 %. Chiral phosphoramidite ligands proved superior and a bulky ligand derived from a Whitesell amine and 3,3′-diphenyl-binaphtol afforded 6 with an ee of 97%. The high enantioselectivity is largely due to the initial desymmetrization reaction though kinetic resolution also plays an important role as shown by the determination of a selectivity factor s = 8.5 at -10°C. Initially high ligand loadings (4 equiv/Pd) were necessary to achieve good asymmetric induction. This could be traced to the trapping of the chiral ligand by borane formed in the reaction. Addition of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) suppressed this, and its addition led to the use of Pd and chiral ligand in a 1:1.2 ratio. Asymmetric hydrogenolysis of cationic dibromonaphthalene and neutral dibromoindenyl complexes of Ru cyclopentadienyl complexes was investigated and afforded the following results : [RuCp(5-bromonaphthalene)]- [PF6] (39a; 75%, 90% ee), [RuCp*(5-bromonaphthalene)] [PF 6] (39 b; 88%, 99% ee), [RuCp(4-bromoindenyl)] (44a; 72%, 96% ee), and [RuCp*(4-bromoindenyl)] (44 b; 62%, 68% ee).

The intramolecular gold-catalyzed asymmetric hydroamination of allenes was studied by screening a series of mononuclear gold(I) and -(III) complexes in combination with silver salts. Among the various chiral monophosphine and diaminocarbene ligands tried,

Gold(I) complexes featuring electron acceptor ligands such as phosphites and phosphoramidites catalyze the [4C+2C] intramolecular cycloaddition of allenedienes. The reaction is chemo- and stereoselective, and provides trans-fused bicyclic cycloadducts in
