Despite recent tremendous progress in the synthesis of nonplanar chiral aromatics, and helicenes in particular, their conversion to half-sandwich or sandwich transition metal complexes still lags behind, although they represent an attractive family of modular and underexplored chiral architectures with a potential catalytic use. In this work, starting from various chiral helicene-indene proligands, we prepared the enantio- and diastereopure oxa[6]- and oxa[7]helicene-indenido half-sandwich RhI and RhIII complexes and oxa[7]helicene-bisindenido ansa-metallocene FeII complex. To document their use, oxahelicene-indenido half-sandwich RhIII complexes were employed as chiral catalysts in enantioselective C-H arylation of benzo[h]quinolines with 1-diazonaphthoquinones to afford a series of axially chiral biaryls in mostly good to high yields and in up to 96 : 4 er. Thus, we developed stereocontrolled synthesis of chiral helicene-indenido ansa- and half-sandwich metal complexes, successfully demonstrated the first use of such helicene Cp-related metal complexes in enantioselective catalysis, and described an unusual sequence of efficient central-to-helical-to-planar-to-axial chirality transfer.
