Ferrocenylphosphines cyclic

This alkylation reaction can be applied to intramolecular alkylation affording cyclic products, as shown in Equations (19)-(21). The reaction of 2-vinylpyridines with 1,5- or 1,6-dienes results in the formation of five- or six-membered carbocycles with good efficiency.20,20a,20b In addition to pyridine functionality, oxozole and imidazole rings can be applied to this intramolecular cyclization. When the reaction is conducted in the presence of a monodentate chiral ferrocenylphosphine and [RhCl(coe)2]2, enantiomerically enriched carbocycles are obtained. A similar type of intramolecular cyclization is applied to TV-heterocycles. The microwave irradiation strongly... 

Intramolecular asymmetric allylic substitution reactions have been applied to the synthesis of optically active cyclic compounds. The high efficiency of the dihydroxylated ferrocenylphosphine 8b has been shown in the cyclization of 2-butenylene dicarbamates 52 to form optically active 4-vinyl-2-oxazolidones 53, which are...
