“…Many novel synthetic applications of organotransition-metal complexes have been reported in the recent literature, which provides methods for synthetic transformations difficult or impossible to achieve by more conventional routes. Among those, such organoiron complexes as [(η 5 -C 5 H 5 )Fe(CO)(PPh 3 )] [ 79 , 286 , 289 ] or [η 5 -C 5 H 5 )Fe (CO) 2 ] [ 209 , 290 – 292 ] have been studied extensively as effective reagents for selective organic transformations. Triphenylphosphine-substituted analogues of the [(η 5 -C 5 H 5 )Fe(CO) 2 ] group, however, have emerged as very versatile intermediates for organic synthesis with potential applications in the area of asymmetric induction [ 41 , 286 , 287 , 293 ].…”
