Asymmetric induction via co-ordination to Cr(CO)3; nucleophilic attack on acyclic carbenium ions

Abstract
Temporary complexation of (S)-(–)-1-phenylethanol by the Cr(CO)3 moiety allows the use of carbenium ions to bring about asymmetric transformations with a high degree of retention of configuration, even in open-chain compounds.
