Asymmetric pentafulvene carbometalation-access to enantiopure titanocene dichlorides of biological relevance
Unprecedented asymmetric copper-catalyzed addition of ZnEt2 (ZnBu2) to the exocyclic C[DOUBLE BOND]C bond of pentafulvenes C5H4([DOUBLE BOND]CHAr) (Ar=2-MeOPh and related species) results in enantiomerically enriched (up to 93:7 e.r.) cyclopentadienyl ligands (C5H4CHEtAr; abbreviated CpR). Copper ca...
