“…With ligand 1, a number of factors have been identified as potential contributors to the net memory effect. These include intimate ionpairing [6a], ionic strength [10], P ,O -chelation [6e], PdÁ/ allyl-oligomerisation [6i] and conformational loss of chelated ligand C 2 -symmetry [10]. However, the origins of the memory effect with MOP and MAP are less complex [6g] and we have introduced a simple stereochemical convergence ('sc') term by which the effects are readily quantified through the deployment of a 2 H label at the stereogenic centre of the substrate [11].…”
