- Asymmetric synthesis of secondary benzylic alcohols via arene chromium tricarbonyl complexesPublication . Costa, M. Rute G. da; Curto, Maria João Marcelo; Davies, Stephen G.; Teixeira, Fatima; Thomson, James E.ABSTRACT: The use of O-methyl-N-(alpha-methylbenzyl)hydroxylamine as a novel chiral auxiliary in asymmetric ortho-deprotonation of the (eta(6)-arene) chromium tricarbonyl complexes is described. Upon quenching of the resultant ortho-lithiated complex with an electrophile, 1,2-disubstituted (eta(6)-arene) chromium tricarbonyl complexes were obtained in good yield and excellent levels of diastereoselectivity.
