Abstract		The aminal of (benzaldehyde)tricarbonylchromium and en-antiopure bipyrrolidine undergoes diastereoselective ortho-metallation with butyllithium. Quenching with various electrophiles, followed by hydrolysis of the aminal, affords ortho-substituted (benzaldehyde)tricarbonylchromium compounds with high ee (91-99 %). When quenched with Ph2PCl, a new chiral P,N-bidentate ligand is obtained, which shows efficiency in Pd- and Cu-catalysed reactions. The aminal of ferrocenecarbaldehyde could also be formed, but the ortho-deprotonation occurs with only moderate diastereoselectivity (70 %).
