Abstract

The novel complex (η6-benzylamine)tricarbonylchromium(0) 11 was prepared in up to 66% yield by direct complexation with Cr(CO)6 in refluxing 1,4-dioxane. Imine derivatives of this complex were readily deprotonated at the benzylic position by diamide 5, and the resultant anions reacted regioselectively with electrophiles (Me3SiCl or MeI) to give fairly good yields of products substituted at the benzylic carbon. Products of up to 87% e.e. were obtained in these reactions, with the highest enantioselectivity being derived from the tert-butyl-substituted imine complex 25.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
