- The enantioselective deprotometalation of alkyl ferrocenecarboxylates (FcCO(2)R) using mixed lithium-zinc or lithium-cadmium bases is described. By using FcCO(2)Me as the substrate, chiral lithium alkyl-amidozincates prepared from exo-(alpha R)- or endo-(alpha S)-N-(alpha-phenylethyl)bornylamine (H-exo-born-R or H-endo-born-S) were tested; the best results (27% yield and 62% ee in favor of the R-P enantiomer) were obtained by using Bu-2(endo-born-S)ZnLi in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at -30 degrees C before iodolysis. Due to the low compatibility of FcCO(2)Me with alkyl-containing lithium zincates, 1 : 1 mixtures of lithium and zinc amides were tested. Chiral (H-exo-born-R or H-endo-born-S) or/and achiral (lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide or lithium diisopropylamide) secondary amines gave good results, the best (81% yield and 44% ee in favor of the R-P enantiomer) being obtained by using (endo-born-S)(3)ZnLi in THF at room temperature. Among other secondary amines also prepared and/or tested, commercial (S,S)-bis(alpha-phenylethyl)amine (H-PEA-S) proved promising. After optimization of the reaction conditions, the best enantioselectivity (26% yield and 80% ee in favor of the RP enantiomer) was observed by treating a THF solution of FcCO(2)Me and Zn(PEA-S)(2) with Li-PEA-S at -80 degrees C before iodolysis. That no reaction took place with cadmium instead of zinc suggests the formation of 'ate complexes upon treatment of Cd(PEA-S)(2) by Li-PEA-S while Zn(PEA-S)(2) and Li-PEA-S would rather work in tandem (Li-PEA-S as the base and Zn(PEA-S)(2) as the in situ trap for the formed ferrocenyllithium). While FcCO(2)Me, FcCO(2)tBu and FcCO(2)iPr could be converted into their racemic 2-iodinated derivatives with a yield of 84 to 87% by employing LiTMP (2 equiv.) in the presence of ZnCl2.TMEDA (1 equiv.) as an in situ trap, their enantioselective deprotometalation rather required Li-PEA-S together with Zn(PEA-S)(2) to produce the enantio-enriched derivatives with yields of 45-82% and 71% ee.

- Enantioselective deprotonative metalations of substituted ferrocenes using mixed lithium-metal bases are described. Using N,N-diisopropylferrocenecarboxamide as substrate, magnesium, iron, cobalt, zinc, and cadmium were tested as metals in bis[(S)-1-phenylethyl]amido-based combinations; after interception of the metalated species with iodine, very high enantiomeric excess (96?%) but low yield was obtained with cobalt, whereas zinc and cadmium only gave 27 and 30?%?ee, respectively, but in excellent yields. The small alkyl groups methyl and ethyl were identified as particularly suitable in the reaction using the putative dialkyl bis[(S)-1-phenylethyl]amido-based lithium and dilithium zincates. The dimethyl dilithium zincate was selected for a study of dependency on the temperature, reaction time, and amount of base. Increased enantioselectivities with temperature, reaction time, and amount of base were noted (ee = 86?% at 0 degrees C after 2 h, 2 equiv. of base). The best result using methyl ferrocenecarboxylate as substrate was observed without alkyl ligand.
