Abstract:
Tridentate Schiff base chromium(III) complex 1 catalyzes the asymmetric hetero-ene reaction between aryl aldehydes and either 2-methoxypropene or 2-trimethylsilyloxypropene to provide a series of beta-hydroxyenol ether products in high yields and enantioselectivities. X-ray crystallographic analysis of a closely related chromium complex reveals a bridged, dimeric structure bearing aquo-bound six-coordinate Cr(III) centers. A mechanism is proposed wherein water dissociation is effected by means of a chemical desiccant (BaO or silyl enol ether), thereby revealing the site for aldehyde complexation.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
