Key words

cyclopentadiene - C–H allylation - rhodium(III) - benzamides

Significance

A class of chiral Cp ligands with tuneable steric parameters is reported and used in the Rh(III)-catalyzed allylation of N-methoxybenz­amides. The obtained yields are good and the enantioselectivities excellent.


 

Comment

Cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligands are among the most versatile and frequently used ligands to access robust and highly catalytically active transition-metal complexes. However, there are only a few chiral Cp ligands reported so far.
