Abstract

Substitution of carbonyl by PPh 3 in (diene)Fe(CO) 3 complexes changes the regiospecificity of electrophilic attack and provides easier access to [(allyl)FeL 4]X salts. Similar PPh 3 substitution in [(dienyl)Fe(CO) 3]X complexes results in decreased reactivity towards nucleophiles; the diastereoselectivity of nucleophilic attack using metal-complexed chiral ligands as opposed to chiral nucleophiles has been examined.
