“…Gilheany and coworkers [419] have observed high (>90%) enantioselectivities for trans-alkenes using stoichiometric chromium complexes, albeit with modest chemical yields, presumably resulting from the formation of a m-oxo Cr(IV) dimer in situ. A systematic study of the effect of aromatic substituents on enantioselectivities [420] is consistent with an oblique approach of the substrate to a nonplanar (stepped) oxidized catalyst (Figure 2.14). An interesting reversal of chiral induction in chromium(III)-salen complexes using a tartaric derived alicyclic diamine moiety (i.e., 361) has been observed by Mosset, Saalfrank and coworkers [421].…”
