Vv. Dunina et al., CONFIGURATIONALLY STABLE ASYMMETRIC NITROGEN ATOM IN THE PALLADIUM(II) AMINOPHOSPHINE COMPLEX, Russian chemical bulletin, 46(7), 1997, pp. 1331-1334
The synthesis of a new optically active aminophosphine ligand i-Pramph
os, containing a potentially stereogenic nitrogen atom, from (S)-N-iso
propyl-N-methyl-alpha-methylbenzylamine is described; its complex with
palladium(II) chloride was obtained. NMR spectroscopy revealed that t
he coordination of the aminophosphine with the metal resulted in stere
ospecific locking of the donor nitrogen atom in only one of two possib
le configurations.
