First example of an enantiopure planar chiral ligand built on a (eta5-cyclohexadienyl)Mn(CO)3 scaffold

Abstract

The synthesis of (eta5-cyclohexadienyl)Mn(CO)3-based planar chiral ligands is realized by an efficient lithiation/electrophilic quench procedure, and the coordinating properties of one of them are highlighted together with its optical resolution.
