ChemInform Abstract Coordination of the racemic, chiral ligand (VII) with iron yields the two possible diastereomeric complexes (IX) and (X). Complexation of the optically active ligand (XI), prepared on the same route as (VII) starting from optically active (S)-(I), produces the complex (XIII) as the sole diastereomer. The potential utility of these complexes in the asymmetric synthesis is demonstrated by the preparation of optically active (XV).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
