THE SELECTIVE ACTIVATION OF ONE METHYL KETONE ENANTIOFACE VIA DELTA-BINDING TO A CHIRAL METAL TEMPLATE - SYNTHESIS AND REACTIVITY OF RHENIUM KETONE COMPLEXES [(ETA-5-C5H5)RE(NO)(PPH3)(ETA-1-ME(R)C=O)]+PF6- Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The title compounds (R = Me, Et, Ph) are synthesized from ketones in high yield, structurally characterized, and shown to undergo highly stereoselective nucleophilic attack; secondary alcohols can be made with 95 to 99% enantiomeric excess (e.e.).
