Mannose-derived hexacoordinated phosphate anions, prepared in as few as two steps from methyl-α-d-mannopyranoside and tris(dimethylamino)phosphine, are chiral anionic auxiliaries with broad asymmetric efficiency. These chemically robust anions are effective NMR chiral solvating agents and efficient asymmetry-inducers, able to control the configuration of conformationally labile C₂-symmetric monomethinium cations (organic, helical, charge 1+, P or M enantiomers) and D₃-symmetric iron(II) trisdiimine complexes (metallo-organic, octahedral, charge 2+, Δ or Λ enantiomers). Diastereomeric control with often unmatched selective levels was achieved with the help of mannopyranoside backbone of the anions and the substituents on the [1,3]dioxane ring that play a key role in the recognition process, something not obvious at first sight.
