[et.al.] - Asymmetric synthesis of secondary benzylic alcohols via arene chromium tricarbonyl complexes. In: Tetrahedron, 2018, Vol. 74, p. 5965-59730040-4020http://hdl.handle.net/10400.9/3117ABSTRACT: 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.engAsymmetric synthesisHydroxylaminesCatalysisOrganic chemistryjournal article
