The preparation and reactions of several new (η 3 -allyl)molybdenum complexes are described. Functionalization of a carbon−carbon double bond adjacent to the π-allyl unit proceeds stereoselectively, and the stereochemical outcome of this reaction is discussed in light of the Curtin−Hammett principle. It is shown that carbonyl groups can also be functionalized with moderate stereoselectivity, and this behavior is rationalized on the basis of conformational analysis using molecular mechanics calculations.
