Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of Pt- and Pd-PCP pincer complexes bearing a para-N pyridinyl backbone

A diastereoselective catalytic asymmetric hydrophosphination reaction was performed using a palladacycle catalyst to produce chiral PCP phosphine ligand with high dr (95:5) and excellent enantioselectivity (>99% ee). Subsequent facile metalation of the chiral ligand with Pt and Pd metal salts yie...

Description
Summary:A diastereoselective catalytic asymmetric hydrophosphination reaction was performed using a palladacycle catalyst to produce chiral PCP phosphine ligand with high dr (95:5) and excellent enantioselectivity (>99% ee). Subsequent facile metalation of the chiral ligand with Pt and Pd metal salts yielded the desired pincer complexes. The protonated form of these pincer complexes was also synthesised, and their structures were confirmed through the use of X-ray crystal diffraction and NMR spectroscopy analyses.
