Inside Cover: Multicomponent One‐pot Reactions Towards the Synthesis of Stereoisomers of Dipicolylamine Complexes (Chem. Asian J. 1/2016)

Abstract

Stereoselective syntheses of dipicolylamine complexes of Zn, Cu, Ni, and Cd have been achieved by taking advantage of a four‐component dynamic covalent assembly comprising pyridine‐2‐carboxaldehyde, an N‐substituted ethylenediamine, an aliphatic primary alcohol or thiol, and a transition‐metal ion. Zn and Cu selectively bind to the syn forms of the hemiaminal ether ligand whereas Ni and Cd selectively bind to the anti forms.
