Highly efficient desymmetrisation of a tricarbonylchromium 1,4-dibromonaphthalene complex by asymmetric Suzuki–Miyaura coupling‡
Abstract
Access to planar chiral complexes has been sought by catalytic desymmetrisation of a prochiral complex via asymmetric Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling. High selectivities of up to 98% ee were achieved using a bulky chiral
