THE ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF (-)-CAPTOPRIL UTILIZING THE IRON CHIRAL AUXILIARY [ETA-5-C5H5)FE(CO)(PPH3)]

Stereoselective alkylation of (R)-[(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)(PPh3)COCH2CH3] with bromomethyl-t-butyl sulphide, followed by oxidative decomplexation in the presence of L-proline t-butyl ester gave, after deprotection, (-)-Captopril enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure in an overall yield of 59%. © 1987...
