%X The synthesis and room temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of the title compound [( PhCH =CHCH= NCHMePh )Fe(CO)2(PPh3)] are described, the first optically pure 1-azabuta-1,3-diene adduct of iron(0) to be so recorded. Crystals are orthorhombic, P212121, a 20.197(6), b 14.09(1), c 11.094(5) &#506;, Z 4; conventional R on |F| was 0.061 for 2217 independent 'observed' (I> 3&#963;(I)) reflections. This compound has been employed to transfer the Fe(CO)2(PPh3) moiety to cyclic 1,3-dienes to give new complexes, including the first example of optically active dicarbonyl ( triphenyl - phosphine )(&#951;4-1-methoxycyclohexa-1,3-diene)iron.
