Abstract

Organoaluminium reagents add in a highly diastereoselective fashion to carbonyl groups adjacent to the allyl system of na II y I t rica r bony1 i ro n I acto n e complexes. ... Highly diastereoselective addition reactions to a carbonyl group in the side-chains of acyclic q4-dienetricarbonyliron complexes are well documented1 and have featured in many natural product syntheses.'"," The preparation of these compounds in optically pure form, however, has caused many problems and ...
