Use of an enantiomerically pure cyclopalladated complex of (S)-N,N-dimethyl-alpha-(2-naphthyl)ethylamine for an enantioselective synthesis of a chiral diphosphine by an intramolecular [4+2] Diels-Alder cycloaddition
N. Gul et Jh. Nelson, Use of an enantiomerically pure cyclopalladated complex of (S)-N,N-dimethyl-alpha-(2-naphthyl)ethylamine for an enantioselective synthesis of a chiral diphosphine by an intramolecular [4+2] Diels-Alder cycloaddition, TETRAHEDRON, 56(1), 2000, pp. 71-78
The cyclopalladated complex (S)-(+)-bis(mu-chloro)bis[N,N-dimethyl-alpha-(2
-naphthyl)ethylamine-C,N]-dipalladium has been used as a chiral template to
promote the intramolecular [4+2] Diels-Alder reaction between diphenylviny
lphosphine and 1-phenyl-3,4-dimethylphosphole. The characteristic H-1 and P
-31{H-1} NMR spectroscopic features of the synthesized compounds are descri
bed. Crystal structures of three of the newly synthesized palladium complex
es are reported. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
