Abstract

The formation of optically active cyclopalladated products starting from dimethylaminomethylferrocene has been observed for the first time using the salts of optically active acids as basic catalysts. This seems to be a unique example for the non-intra-molecular asymmetric induction of planar chirality. The maximum enantiomeric excess thus far obtained is nearly 12%.
