A range of iron derivatives of the Shvo catalyst have been synthesised and applied to the Oppenauer-type oxidation of alcohols. The synthesis of further derivatives containing both point and planar chirality and their use in asymmetric ketone reductions is described.1) For a comprehensive review of the Shvo catalyst see B.L. Conley, et. al. Chem. Rev. 2010, 110  , 2294-2312.2) T.C. Johnson, et. al. Organometallics, 2011, 30, 1859-1868.
