Outline of Final Research Achievements

We reported catalytic enantioselective synthesis of planar chiral (arene)chromium complexes via asymmetric ring-closing metathesis. Meanwhile, corresponding Cp manganese complexes were also studied asymmetric ring-closing metathesis of the ortho-substituted Cp manganese complexes with two alkenyl tethers. As the results, we have succeeded to synthesize the planar chiral manganese complexes with extremely high enantioselectivities. Furthermore, an optically active manganese complex can be utilized as the precursor for the synthesis of chiral phosphine ligands with Cp manganese as a platform.
