Abstract

Easily available ferrocenyl substituted aziridinylmethanol FAM-4a complexes with nickel and catalyzes the enantioselective diethylzinc addition to various enones with enantiomeric excesses reaching 80%. The ligand can be recovered and used without losing its activity. The sense of induction was found to be dependent on the configuration of the aziridine ring. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
