In contrast to the numerous successful applications of C 2 -symmetric biaryls as powerful tools for asymmetric synthesis, there have so far been only few reports on combinations of C 3 -symmetry with axial chirality. We present here the first enantioselective synthesis of a novel family of tripodal

β¦ Synopsis
The asymmetric preparation and metallation of binaphthylcyclopentadiene 1 is described. The key step in this four step synthesis is an asymmetric nickel-catalyzed coupling reaction. Chiral cyclopentadienyl ligands are becoming recognized as potent chiral auxiliaries for asymmetric organometallic reactions.lv2 Despite their promise, relatively few chiral cyclopentadienyl ligands have been prepared when compared to the many examples of other chiral ligands such as phosphines, amines and alcohols.3 Due to the advantages inherent in Q-symmetric annulated cyclopentadienyl ligands,4 we are engaged in the design, synthesis and application of such ligands in asymmetric synthesis. In order to provide ligands which are

Novel axially dissymmetric ligands (1) with two more chiral carbons were synthesized through homo-coupling of o-bromo-(R or S)-(2,2,2-trifluoro-l-acetoxyethyl)benzene. A high asymmetric induction was accomplished using 5 mol% of the Ti complex of this ligand for the reaction of benzaldehyde with Et2
