Enantioselective Synthesis of Planar Chiral Ferrocene Triflones
Abstract A multi‐gram scale synthesis of ferrocenetriflone was optimised from ferrocenesulfonyl fluoride and Me 3 SiCF 3 (Ruppert reagent). Enantioselective deprotolithiations were then optimised using alkyllithiums in the presence of catalytic (+)‐sparteine to afford 2‐substituted ferrocene triflones in 79–84% ee . The use of chiral lithium amides in the presence of in situ traps was also optimised and was found to outperform alkyllithium⋅chiral diamine chelates for the first time in the ferrocene series, with 89–93% ee . Crystallisation of derivatives afforded enantiopure compounds that were engaged in deprotolithiation‐electrophilic trapping sequences, a halogen ‘dance’ reaction and transition metal‐promoted coupling to afford a wide range of variously polysubstituted ferrocene triflones.
