Abstract

A new family of air-and moisture-stable enantiopure C, N-palladacycles (PIN-acac complexes) were prepared in good overall yield in three steps from 2-iodo-1-naphthoic acid and enantiopure β-amino alcohols. Three of these PIN complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. As anticipated, the naphthalene and imidazoline rings of PIN- acac complexes 18a and 18b were canted significantly from planarity and projected the ...
