Abstract

Graphical abstract: Abstract: A planar chiral ferrocene-fused cyclic aldimine was synthesized and a series of iminium salts were divergently prepared from it. The new carbene was generated from a salt by simple deprotonation with a strong base and identified by a carbene trapping experiment with sulfur. The sulfur adduct was fully characterized and its crystal structure implied that the new carbene would create an excellent chiral environment when used as a catalyst or a ligand in catalytic asymmetric synthesis.
