โฆ Synopsis
Racernic 2-hydroxymethyl-l-phenylthioferrocane 5 and 2-hydroxymethyl-1tert-butylthioferrocene 6 were subjected to kinetic resolution via acetylation catalysed by lipase from Candida antarctica (Novozym ยฎ 435) or Mucor miehei (Lipozyrne ยฎ IM). The obtained enantiopure thioethers underwent chemical oxygenation at the sulfur atom to give the corresponding ferrocenyl sulfoxides with settled central/planar chirality.

We have shown that cymantrene derivatives are better P,N-chelate ligands for palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation than ferrocenes, which have a similar pentagonal ligand structure to cymantrene derivatives. In particular, the PPh 3 -substituted cymantrene gave a higher enantioselectivity (>98%).
