Ring opening of ( R )‐(–)‐epoxystyrene ( 1 ) with fluorenyllithium leads to the optically active alcohol 2 in high yield. Derivatization of 2 to the trifluoromethanesulfonate 4 and subsequent reaction with one equivalent of fluorenyllithium gives the ligand precursor (1 S )‐1,2‐bis(9‐fluorenyl)‐1‐phenylethane ( 5 ), which is used for the synthesis of [(1 R )‐1,2‐bis(η 5 ‐9‐fluorenyl)‐1‐phenylethane]ZrCl 2 ( 6 ).
