Abstract
The reaction of [ R-( R ★, R ★)]-(+) 589-[(η 5-C 5H 5){1,2-C 6H 4(PMePh) 2}Fe(NCMe)]PF 6 with (±)-AsHMePh in boiling methanol yields crystalline [ R-[( R ★)-( R ★, R ★)]-(+) 589)-[(η 5-C 5H 5){1,2-C 6H 4(PMePh) 2}Fe(AsHMePH) PF 6, optically pure, in ca. 90% yield, in a typical second-order asymmetric transformation. This complex contains the first resolved secondary arsine. Deprotonation of the secondary arsine complex with KOBu t at −65°C gives the diastereomerically pure tertiary arsenido-iron complex [ R-[( R ★),( R ★, R ★)]]-[((η 5-C 5H 5){1,2-C 6H 4(PMePh) 2}FeAsMePh] · thf, from which optically pure [ R-[( S ★),( R ★, R ★)]]-(+) 589-[(η 5-C 5H 5){1,2-C 6H 4(PMePh) 2}Fe(AsEtMePh)PF 6 is obtained by reaction with iodoethane. Cyanide displaces ( R)-(−) 589-ethylmethylphenylarsine from the iron complex, thereby effecting the asymmetric synthesis of a tertiary arsine, chiral at arsenic, from (±)-methylphenylarsine and an optically active transition metal auxiliary.
