F. Lam et al., BINUCLEATING LIGANDS - SYNTHESIS OF ACYCLIC ACHIRAL AND CHIRAL SCHIFFBASE-PYRIDINE AND SCHIFF BASE-PHOSPHINE LIGANDS, Journal of organic chemistry, 61(24), 1996, pp. 8414-8418
5-tert-Butyl-3-(2'-pyridyl)salicyaldehyde and 5-tert-butyl-3-(diphenyl
phosphino)salicyaldehyde were synthesized from 4-tert-butylphenol in g
ood overall yields. Condensation of the salicyaldehydes with 2,3-diami
no-2,3-dimethylbutane afforded the desired dinucleating Schiff base-py
ridine and Schiff base-phosphine ligands, respectively. 5-tert-Butyl-3
-(2'-pyridyl) salicyaldehyde reacted with optically active 1,2-diamino
cyclohexanes to give chiral dinucleating Schiff base-pyridine ligands.
