Active versus passive substituent participation in the auxiliary-mediated asymmetric synthesis of an octahedral metal complex.
Ambiguous chirality transfer: A surprising reversal of chirality transfer from carbon to metal is reported in the asymmetric synthesis of a chiral ruthenium complex, affording the metal-centered configuration Λ or Δ depending only on the chemical composition of the side chain of a chiral salicyloxazoline auxiliary.
