Abstract

A C₂ hexadentate, in which two pyridine-2-aldehyde 2′-pyridylhydrazone (PAPHY) groups are linked to a chiral auxiliary derived from (R,R)-tartaric acid, (R,R)-1, reacts with iron(II) benzenesulfonate to give the two-bladed propeller, octahedral complex (P_Fe)-[Fe{(R,R) -1}](PhSO₃)₂ with complete diastereoselectivity, as determined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Saponification of the ester linkages and deprotonation of the hydrazone-NH groups in the configurationally pure diastereomer affords the complex (P _Fe)-[Fe(5-HOCH₂PAPY)₂] with 85% retention of configuration at the iron stereocenter, as determined by reprotonation of the neutral complex with enantiomerically pure (aR)-binaphthyl phosphoric acid and analysis of the ¹H NMR spectrum of the mixture of diastereomeric salts produced. This is the first asymmetric synthesis of a two-bladed propeller, octahedral metal complex by the classical organic methodology of chiral auxiliary-directed, asymmetric synthesis.
