Chem. 1982, 226, 251. diastereomers were readily isolable with very high diasteromeric excess (> 97% de) via fractional crystallization. The homochiral iodides were then converted to chlorides by sequential addition of Ag'and C1-yielding the epimers of NMCpMo (N0)- (Cl)(a'-methallyl),(+)-3 and (-)-4, which differ in the configuration at the stereogenic metal center. Treatment of> 98% de (-)-NMCpMo (NO)(C1)(q3-methallyl),(-)-4, with ...
