Abstract

A practical enantioselective synthesis of chiral β-diketonate ligands, which are of 'pseudo planar-chiral'topology, is described. Additionally, the first chiral bis (diketonates), ligands of C2-symmetry that are isoelectronic with respect to related salen ligand systems, have been prepared. Protocols for the metallation of ligands, and are reported.
