Synthesis of stereoprojecting, chiral N-C(sp3)-E type pincer complexes

A synthetic strategy to generate chiral N-C(sp3)-E (E = S, O) pincer complexes incorporating enhanced stereoprojecting groups at the N-arm site has been established.

Description
Summary:A synthetic strategy to generate chiral N-C(sp3)-E (E = S, O) pincer complexes incorporating enhanced stereoprojecting groups at the N-arm site has been established. The synthesis of the tridentate pincer ligand was carried out via palladacycle-catalyzed asymmetric hydrophosphination of N-chelating enones. The chelation properties of the substrates were initially demonstrated on C(sp2)-N type palladacycles. The extended substrate scope allows versatile structural modifications on the ligand backbone. Subsequent cyclometalation provided N-C(sp3)-E complexes in a diastereoselective reaction.
