Studies on Lateral Stereocontrol Using the (π-Allyl)molybdenum System
摘要:
The preparation and reactions of several new (eta(3)-allyl)molybdenum complexes are described. Functionalization of a carbon-carbon double bond adjacent to the pi-allyl unit proceeds stereoselectively, and the stereochemical outcome of this reaction is discussed in light of the Curtin-Hammett principle. It is shown that carbonyl groups can also be functionalized with moderate stereoselectivity, and this behavior is rationalized on the basis of conformational analysis using molecular mechanics calculations.
