Abstract

Design of an asymmetric catalyst: The planar-chiral cyclopentadienyl ruthenium complex shown in the scheme effectively catalyzes the reactions of unsymmetrically substituted allyl halides with phenol and alcohol to give the corresponding branched allyl ethers with high regio- and enantioselectivity.
