Abstract

ABSTRACT Condensation of CpMo (NO)(π-allyl) I complexes bearing a tethered aldehyde gave cyclic homoallylic alcohols with a varying degree of diastereoselectivity. Cyclohexyl and tetrahydronaphthyl derivatives were prepared in moderate to good yields. The diastereoselectivity is highly dependent on the substituents on the ring.
