Abstract
A multistep synthesis of the planar chiral tricarbonyl(η6- indan-1,2-dione)chromium, based on acetal protection of the keto groups, is presented. Since common deacetalization procedures failed, an oxidative deprotection with triphenylcarbenium tetrafluoroborate was used. Tricarbonyl(η6-indan-1,2-dione)chromium is regarded as a potential precursor for dianionic oxy-Cope rearrangements upon alkenyllithium diaddition. As an unexpected side product in the synthesis, an indan-1,2-dione complex with a triphenylmethyl substituent at C-3 was obtained. Attempts directed towards the formation of enantiomerically pure material include the first reported investigation into an enantioselective ketone reduction with two methoxy substituents present in the α position. Although enantiomeric excesses of up to 84.5% were achieved, the chemical yields decreased with increasing ee. A classical resolution was therefore undertaken, giving access to the enantiomerically pure title compound (99.4% ee). The absolute configuration was verified by an X-ray structure analysis of an intermediate. First experiments concerning the alkenyllithium addition showed that a single addition is possible while a second one does not occur, presumably due to enolate formation.
