Abstract
A series of homochiral C(3-)symmetric triethers has been made in a one-step procedure from the corresponding homochiral alcohols. The range of present and potential structural variety is assessed, as is the triethers' potenti al use as ligands in organometallic complexes. The synthesis of homochiral C-3-symmetric triamides from amines and from aminols is also reported, with their potential metal binding characteristics.
