Sk. Armstrong et S. Clunas, Homochiral C-3-symmetric triols and triamines: Straightforward syntheses, and applications as chiral ligands, SYNTHESIS-S, (2), 2000, pp. 281-288
Homochiral C-3-symmetric triols and triamines of varying steric demands hav
e been made using an efficient one- or two-step procedure. The triols' use
as ligands in organometallic complexes is explored briefly, as is the use o
f the titanium complex of one triol for asymmetric induction.
