Reaction of 2,5-dimethyl-3,4-diphenylcyclopent-2-enone (1) with Ph(3)P=CH2 in THF gave 2,5-dimethyl-3,4-diphenylcyclopent-2-ene-1-ylidene (2) in 75% yield. Treatment of 2 with one equivalent of Br-2, followed by two equivalents of triethylamine gave 1,4-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylfulvene (3) in 60% overall yield. Treatment of 3 with LiCH3 and LiC6H5 followed by FeCl2 gave [eta(5)-1-CH3CH2-2,5-(CH3)(2)-3,4-(C6H5)(2)C-5]Fe-2 and [eta(5)-1-C6H5CH2-2,5-(CH3)(2)-3,4-(C6H5)(2)C-5]Fe-2, respectively, in good yield. Treatment of 3 with LiNHC(CH3)(3) and LiP(C6H5)(2) followed by FeCl2 gave [eta(5)-1-(CH3)(3)CNHCH2-2,5-(CH3)(2)-3,4-(C6H5)(2)C-5]Fe-2 and [eta(5)-1-(C6H5)(2)PCH2-2,5-(CH3)(2)-3,4-(C6H5)(2)C-5]Fe-2, respectively, in good yield. Treatment of 3 with (R)-LiNHCH(CH3)C6H5 followed by FeCl2 gave the corresponding enantiomerically pure ferrocene complex (R,R)-[eta(5)-1-C6H5CH(CH3)NHCH2-2.5-(CH3)(2)- 3,4-(C6H5)(2)C-5]Fe-2 in 44% yield.
