The reaction of allylcyclopentadienyllithium with 0.5 molar equivalents of MCl4(thf)2 (MZr, Hf) furnished the (η5-C5H4CH2CHCH2MCl2 complexes 3a (Zr) and 3b (Hf), which cleanly added 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) to form [η5-C5H4(CH2)3(9-BBN)]2MCl2 (10a, b). Treatment of 3 with butadiene-magnesium led to coupling of one Cp-bonded allyl unit with butadiene to give 5; the remaining CpCH2CHCH2 group underwent clean H[B(C8H14)] addition when exposed to the 9-BBN hydroboration reagent. (Alkenyl-Cp)2ZrCl2 complexes (9a – d) were prepared starting from fulvenes by deprotonation with the help of LDA and reaction with ZrCl4(thf)2. The complexes [η5-C5H4CHC(CH3)R]2ZrCl29b (RCH3) and 9c (RPh) added 9-BBN to give [η2-C5H4CH(9-BBN)CH(CH3)R]2ZrCl212 (RCH3, rac;-/meso;- ≈ 1:1) and 13 (RPh, threo;-/erythro;- ≈ 1:1). The mixtures of diastereoisomers were in each case separated by fractional crystallization. The stereochemical assignments of complexes rac;-12 and meso;-12 were achieved by means of the stereochemistry of polypropylene formed at the 12/methylalumoxane-derived homogeneous Ziegler-type olefin polymerization catalysts. At – 50°C the catalyst from the achiral meso;-12 precursor produced isotactic polypropylene only by means of “chain end control” (σ ≈ 0.7), whereas the use of rac;-12 led to a pronounced participation (≈ 30%) of effective “enantiomorphic site control” (α=0.95) in the CC-coupling reaction.
