in which an indenyl group, having a neomenthyl group,
and a diphenylphosphino group are connected by an
ethylene group, was designed and prepared. The presence
of the two kinds of chiralities, indenyl-based planar
chirality and stereogenic centers of the neomenthyl
group, was an indispensable factor for inducing high
stereoselectivity around the metal center.
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.
