Abstract

In the presence of Et₂AICI, the lithium enolate derived form the iron acetyl complex [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)(PPh₃)(COMe)] discriminates between the enantiomers of monosubstituted epoxides to produce essentially only one product diastereoisomer, for example(RS,SR)-[(η⁵C₅H₅)Fe(CO)(PPh₃){COCH₂CH₂CH(OH)Me}] in the case of propene oxide.
