P. Baret et al., SYNTHESIS OF A CHIRAL BIS(BIPYRIDINE) LIGAND OF THE CHIRAGEN FAMILY FOR THE SELF-ASSEMBLY OF ENANTIOMERICALLY PURE HELICATES, Synthesis, (4), 1998, pp. 431-435
The chiral bis(bipyridine) ligand L, belonging to the ''chiragen'' fa
mily, has been synthesized. The synthetic pathway involves an original
preparation of acylnicotinates which is of synthetic value. The synth
etic strategy described here may allow the access to various bisbident
ate ligands, well-suited to the self-assembly of enantiomerically pure
helicates.
