The complexes [TiCl2(R,R)-TADDOLato}(DME)](MeCN)-Me-. (3), and [TiCl2(R,R)-1-Nph-TADDOL-ato}(McCN)(2)](CH2Cl2)-C-. (4b) (DME 1,2-dimethoxyethane; (R,R)-TADDOLato = (4R,5R)-2,2-dimethyl-a,a,a',a'-tetraphenyl-1,3-dioxotane-4,5-dimethanolato(2 (2-)-kappaO,kappaO'; (R,R)-1-Nph-TADDOLato = (4R,5R)2,2-dimethyl-a,a,a',a'-tetra(naphthalen-1-yl)-1,3-dioxotane-4,5-dimethanolato(2-)-kappaO,kappaO') were prepared and isolated in high yield as stable crystalline materials (Scheme 1). They constitute ideally suited and easy-to-handle catalyst precursors for a large number of Ti-catalyzed asymmetric reactions, for which they have been previously generated in situ. The X-ray crystal structures of 3 and 4b show a distorted octahedral geometry around Ti with the chloro ligands in mutual trans positions (Figs. 5 and 6). The new chiral diols a-(1S,3R)-3-hydroxy-2,2,3-trimethylcyclopentyl]-a-phenylbenzenemethanol (13a), derived from camphoric acid (5), and (M) -6,6'-dimethyl-a,a,a',a'-tetraphenyl[1,1'-biphenyl]-2,2'-dimethanol (15) were prepared (Schemes 3 and 4). These new ligands are able to form mononuclear complexes with the (TiCl2)-Cl-IV, fragment. The corresponding complex 14 derived front 13a was characterized by X-ray as a mixed THF/MeCN adduct.
