38. The coordination of a tricarbonylchromium fragment to the arene ring was found to also increase the diastereoselectivity in the asymmetric allylboration of aromatic aldehydes: Roush, W. R.; Park, J. C. J. Org. Chem. 1990, 55, 1143.
39. Authentic stereodefined anti-N-tosyl-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethyl alcohol derivative was prepared by the following literature procedure: (a) Davis, F. A.; Hague, M. S.; Przeslawski, R. M. J. Org. Chem. 1989, 54, 2021.

42. Similarly, the cross-coupling of N-tosyl ferrocenylideneamine (1) with benzaldehydes or the corresponding chromium complexes gave exclusively anti-β-amino alcohols under the same conditions: unpublished results.
43. A homo-coupling 1,2-diol was in 80% yield as a major product.
44. Enantiomerically pure chromium complexes were obtained by optical resolution of diastereomers derived from L-valinol: Bromley, L. A.; Davies, S. G.; Goodfellow, C. L. Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 1991, 2, 139.
45. Optical purities of 11 and chromium-free 12 were determined by chiral HPLC. For racemic 11: chiralcel OD-H, hexane/2-propanol (9/1), flow rate 0.5 mL/min, 40°C, retention time 33.1 and 36.0 min. For racemic 12: chiralcel OJ-H, hexane/2-propanol (9/1), flow rate 0.5 mL/min. 40°C, retention time 20.4 and 25.0 min.
46. The absolute configuration of the syn-coupling product 12 was determined as (R,R)-configuration by comparison of the optical rotation sign of authentic syn-β-amino alcohol derived from (R)-2-phenylglycine according to ref 8c.
