First asymmetric SmI2-induced cross-coupling of Cr(CO)3 aromatic nitrone complexes with carbonyl compounds.
The SmI(2)-induced cross-coupling of Cr(CO)(3)-complexed nitrones with carbonyl compounds is described. This highly chemo- and diastereoselective reaction affords enantiopure [small beta]-amino alcohol complexes in excellent yields.
