Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of planar chiral metallocene compounds is reported. The reaction stereoselectively functionalized one of the ortho C-H bonds of Cp rings by intramolecular cyclization to form indenone derivatives in high yields with excellent enantioselectivity. The mild set of reaction conditions allowed a wide variety of chiral metallocene compounds to be synthesized with broad functional group tolerance. The influences of preinstalled chiralities on the other Cp-ring were also investigated.
