Four centers of chirality—2 × C, 1 × N, 1 × Mo —are present in the title compound 1, R * = ( R )‐1‐CHMePh. Complex 1 is characterized, among other things, by a slightly bent CO group, which is in close contact to Rh. A complicated series of ring openings and epimerizations is suggested as a plausible route to 1 .
