Chelation of dimethylmalonate derivatives of variously substituted tricarbonyl(cyclohexadienyl)-iron(1+) salts by tris(3-trifluoroacetyl-(+)-camphorato)europium(III) successfully resolved the methoxy resonances due to the two epimers of the cyclohexadiene complexes in the 1H n.m.r. spectra of racemic samples. The method provides a general means to measure enantiomeric excess of tricarbonyliron complexes.

Reductive aminases (RedAms) for the stereoselective amination of ketones represent an environmentally benign and economically viable alternative to transition metal–catalyzed asymmetric chemical synthesis. Here, we report two RedAms from Aspergillus calidoustus (AcRedAm) and bacteria (BaRedAm) with NADPH-dependent features. The enzymes can synthesize a set of secondary amines using a broad range of ketone and amine substrates with up to 97% conversion. To synthesize the pharmaceutical ingredient (R)-rasagiline, we engineered AcRedAm through rational design to obtain highly stereoselective mutants. The best mutant Q237A from AcRedAm could synthesize (R)-rasagiline with >99% enantiomeric excess with moderate conversion. The features of AcRedAm and BaRedAm highlight their potential for further study and expand the biocatalytic toolbox for industrial applications.

Reactions of cyclometalated compounds are numerous. This account is focused on one of such reactions, the exchange of cyclometalated ligands, a reaction between a cyclometalated compound and an incoming ligand that replaces a previously cyclometalated ligand to form a new metalacycle: + H-C*~Z ⇄ + H-C~Y. Originally discovered for PdII complexes with Y/Z = N, P, S, the exchange appeared to be a mechanistically challenging, simple, and convenient routine for the synthesis of cyclopalladated complexes. Over four decades it was expanded to cyclometalated derivatives of platinum, ruthenium, manganese, rhodium, and iridium. The exchange, which is also questionably referred to as transcyclometalation, offers attractive synthetic possibilities and assists in disclosing key mechanistic pathways associated with the C–H bond activation by transition metal complexes and C–M bond cleavage. Both synthetic and mechanistic aspects of the exchange are reviewed and discussed.
