Chirality bites: Use of a bidentate chiral sulfoxide auxiliary SO (see scheme) allows the first catalytic asymmetric synthesis of a chiral octahedral metal complex containing only achiral ligands, as shown from the conversion of the achiral complex trans ‐[Ru(bipyridine) 2 (CH 3 CN) 2 ] 2+ into Δ‐[Ru(bipyridine) 3 ] 2+ in the presence of an excess of bipyridine.
