The iodo complex [CpRu((R)-BINOP-F)(I)] ((R)-6) was obtained by substitution of two carbonyl ligands by (R)-4 in the in situ-prepared [CpRu(CO)[2]H] complex followed by reaction with iodoform. Complex 6 was reacted with [Ag(SbF[6])] in acetone to yield [CpRu((R)-BINOP-F)(acetone)][SbF[6]] ((R)-7). X-ray structures were obtained for both (R)-6 and (R)-7. The chiral one-point binding Lewis acid [CpRu((R)-BINOP-F)][SbF[6]] derived from either (R)-7 or the corresponding aquo complex (R)-8 activates methacrolein and catalyzes the Diels−Alder reaction with cyclopentadiene to give the [4 + 2] cycloadduct with an exo/endo ratio of 99:1 and an ee of 92% of the exo product. Addition occurs predominantly to the methacrolein C[α]-Re face. In solution, water in (R)-8 exchanges readily. Moreover, a second exchange process renders the diastereotopic BINOP-F phosphorus atoms equivalent. These processes were studied by the application of variable-temperature [1]H, [31]P, and [17]O NMR spectroscopy, variable-pressure [31]P and [17]O NMR spectroscopy, and, using a simpler model complex, density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results point to a dissociative mechanism of the aquo ligand and a pendular motion of the BINOP-F ligand. NMR experiments show an energy barrier of 50.7 kJ mol[-1] (12.2 kcal mol[-1]) for the inversion of the pseudo-chirality at the ruthenium center.
