Chiral mono- and bis-annelated cyclopentadienyl ligands derived from tartaric acid: Synthesis of [(η5-cyclopentadienyl)RuCl(cod)] and [(η5-cyclopentadienyl)(η6-benzene)Ru]PF 6 derivatives

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The synthesis of chiral mono- and bis-annelated 1,3-cyclopentadienes derived from tartaric acid, a chiral pool starting material, is described. In addition to known functionalized chiral 1,3-cyclopentadienes, new derivatives have also been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallographic and NMR spectroscopic studies. Neutral and cationic ruthenium(II) complexes, containing a mono-annelated chiral cyclopentadienyl ligand (1), have been successfully prepared. The X-ray crystal structure of [(η5-Cp′) Ru(η6-benzene)]-[PF6], Cp′ = 1, has been determined.
