Planar-chiral cyclopentadienylruthenium complexes [Ru(η5-1-CO2R*-2-Me-4-R1C5H2)(η6-C6H6)][X] (4 and 8) (R* = (l)- or (d)-menthyl; R1 = Me, Ph, t-Bu, 2-Naphthyl, or 4-BrC6H4; X = PF6 or BPh4) were synthesized in a diastereomerically pure form. The absolute configuration of 8b and 4c (R1 = Ph, t-Bu) w...
