Notes:
Optically active titanium complexes of the formula Ti(η5:η1-C5R4SiMe2NCHMePh)Cl2 (R = H, Me), containing the cyclopentadienyl ligand linked to a chiral 1-phenylethylamido moiety, were synthesized and characterized in both enantiomerically pure forms. A single-crystal X-ray structural analysis of (S)—(—)Ti(η5:η1-C5H4SiMe2NCHMePh)Cl2 shows a conformation in which the phenyl group is turned away from the metal center. NOE measurements suggest that a related structure is retained in solution. Upon activation with n-butyllithium, these complexes show hydrogenation activity toward imines with slight enantioselectivity.
