The chiral iron acetyl complexes [Fe(CO)(η5-C 5H5)(L)COCH3] [L = PPh3, P(p-tolyl)3] have been kinetically resolved via aldol reactions involving their derived lithium enolates and camphor in the presence of lithium chloride. With (1R)-(+)-camphor the... Read More about Kinetic resolution of the chiral iron acetyl complexes [Fe(CO) (η5-C5H5)(L)COCH3] [L= PPh 3, P(p-tolyl)3] via aldol reactions with camphor.

A novel one-pot synthesis of homochiral (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-Fe(CO) (η5-C5H5)(PPh3)COCH3 (1994)
Journal Article
Cook, S. J., Costello, J. F., Davies, S. G., & Kruk, H. T. (1994). A novel one-pot synthesis of homochiral (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-Fe(CO) (η5-C5H5)(PPh3)COCH3. Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 1, 17(17), 2369-2372. https://doi.org/10.1039/p19940002369

Treatment of the salt [Fe(CO)2(η5-C 5H5)(PPh3)]Br with potassium L-mentholate followed by lithium bromide and methyllithium generates, after work-up and crystallisation, homochiral (S)-(+)-[Fe(CO)(η5-C 5H5)(PPh3)COCH3] in ≥ 30% yield.
