Abstract
Sequential addition of a C-nucleophile and a C-electrophile to enantiomerically pure arene tricarbonyl chromium complexes 3a ,b, 6 , and 8b , containing aryl bound chiral oxazoline, SAMP-hydrazone and chiral imine auxiliaries affording substituted cyclohexadienes. C-Nucleophiles included alkyl-, vinyl-, and phenyl-lithium reagents. C-Electrophiles included methyl iodide, allyl bromide, benzyl bromide, and propargyl bromides. The 1,3-cylohexadienes were obtained with a 1,5,6-substitution pattern. The results are consistent with a diastereoselective exo -nucleophilic addition to an ortho position of the complexed arene, followed by addition of the electrophile to the metal center. With allyl, ben-zyl, and propargyl groups, direct reductive elimination then yielded trans-5,6-substituted products. With methyl iodide, reductive elimination was preceded by CO insertion and acetyl cyclohexadienes were formed exclusively whose in situ deprotonation/alkylation gave products in which three C-substituents had been added across an arene double bond with complete regio- and stereocontrol. The two path-ways reflect migratory aptitude to carbonylation. An X-ray structure determination of the phenyl oxazoline complex 3a allowed a rationalization of observed diastereoselectivity. Asymmetric induction was very high with the oxazoline and the SAMP-hydrazone complexes (>90% de) whereas the chiral benzaldehyde imine complex 8b afforded the substituted diene aldehydes in moderate enantiomeric purity (34-58% ee). Changing the reaction medium from THF to toluene in reactions with 8b resulted in products of the opposite chirality.
Key words

Crystal structure determination of 3a : Cr(CO)3 (C12 H15 NO), Mr = 325.3; µ = 0.782 mm-1 , dx = 1.451 g.cm-3 , monoclinic, P 21, Z = 4, a = 11.0923(10), b = 11.2412(7), c = 12.0144(12)Å, β = 96.471(11)°, V = 1488.5(2)Å3 , yellow prism 0.10 x 0.20 x 0.26. Cell dimensions and intensities were measured at 200 K on a Stoe IPDS diffractometer with graphite-monochromated Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71069 Å). 22868 measured reflections, 7125 unique reflections of which 3728 were observables (|Fo| > 4 σ (Fo)); Rint for equivalent reflections 0.069. Data were corrected for absorption (T min, max = 0.8492, 0.9441). Full-matrix least-squares refinement based on F using weight of 1/[σ2 (Fo)+ 0.0003(Fo)2 ] gave final values R = 0.032, w R2 = 0.032 and Flack parameter x = 0.02(5). Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions.

Crystal structure determination of 6 : Cr(CO)3 (C13 H18 N2 O), Mr = 354.3; µ = 0.689 mm-1 , dx = 1.415 g.cm-3 , monoclinic, P 21, Z = 4, a = 10.229(2), b = 13.276(2), c = 12.267(3)Å, β = 92.973(6)°, V = 1663.6(6)Å3 , yellow prism 0.11 0.24 0.24. Cell dimensions and intensities were measured at room temperature on a Philips PW1100 diffractometer with graphite-monochromated Mo Kα]radiation (λ = 0.71069 Å). Two reference reflections measured every 60 min showed variation of about 10%; all intensities were corrected for this drift. -10 < h <10; 0 < k < 14; 0 < l < 12 and all anti-reflections; 4522 measured reflections, 4194 unique reflections of which 3155 were observables (|Fo| > 4 σ (Fo)); Rint for equivalent reflections 0.031. Data were corrected for absorption (T min, max = 0.8814, 0.9245). Full-matrix least-squares refinement based on F using weight of 1/[σ2 (Fo)+ 0.0003(Fo)2 ] gave final values R = 0.050, w R2 = 0.047 and Flack parameter x = 0.02(6). Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions. The methoxymethyl substituant of the anti-conformer is disordered. Two disordered fragments have been refined with population parameters of 0.70 and 0.30 for C12b-O1b-C13b and C12b’-O1b’-C13b’ respectively. The partial decomposition of the crystal during data collection and the presence of the disorder, led to relatively large uncertainties in the final coordinates.
