SYNTHESIS OF ENANTIOMERICALLY ENRICHED TRICARBONYL(VINYLKETENE)IRON(0) COMPLEXES

Abstract Addition of tricarbonyl(vinylketene)iron(0) complexes 2a-d to 0.5 equiv. of a phosphoramidate anion derived from ( S )- α -methylbenzylamine affords the first enantiomerically enriched samples of 2a-d ; the absolute configurations of 2a-d have been established as 5 pS .
