Enantioface-selective complexation of prochiral dienes on planar-chiral cyclopentadienylruthenium complexes bearing an anchor phosphine ligand
Planar-chiral cyclopentadienylruthenium complex 1 [{eta(5):eta(1) -C5H2-2-Me-4-Ph-1 -CO2CH2CH2PPh2} Ru(CH3CN)(2)] [PF6] bearing an anchor phosphine ligand exhibits a high enantioface selectivity in the reaction with prochiral dienes 2 to give planarchiral eta(4)-diene complex 3.
