The addition of nucleophiles to dienemolybdenum and dienyliron cationic complexes proceeds stereospecifically trans to the metal. This has been utilized to effect stereocontrolled multiple functionalization of six- and seven-membered rings by a sequence of nucleophile addition, hydride abstraction, and second nucleophile addition. Applications of this protocol in the synthesis of macrolide antibiotic subunits is discussed. Stereocontrol from the metal is also obtained during alkylation of enolates generated on an organometallic complex. Recent progress in this area is presented. 1. Introduction 2.
