Abstract

The efficiency of trityl bromide ( 4 ) and diaryl carbenium ion precursors 5 − 7 in hydride abstraction from a series of cyclohexenyl molybdenum complexes ( 2 ) was investigated. The novel nonracemic hydride abstractors 14a, b were designed and prepared and were shown to effectuate hydride abstraction from prochiral substrate 15 with modest enantioselectivity.
