Abstract

Two new functionalized tetramethylcyclopentadiene (FTMCP) ligands are described: optically active (1S)-1-(6-methoxynaphthalenyl)-1-(2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)ethane (2) and racemic 1-methyl-1-(2,3,4,5-TMCP)propane (3). These ligands were used to synthesize cationic diene complexes [(η5-FTMCP)Fe(CO)(η4-diene)]+[BF 4]- (diene = diphenylbutadiene (11), methyl hexa-2,4-dienoate (10)). The absolute configuration of the ligand 2 was determined from the crystal structure of complex [(η 5-(1S)-1-(6-methoxynaphthalenyl)-1-(2,3,4,5- tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)-ethane)Fe(CO)2SnCl3] (8).
