Reports: ND354280-ND3: Chiral Iridium Pincer Complexes for Catalytic Asymmetric Hydrogen Transfer Processes
David S. Glueck, Dartmouth College
In
order to study catalytic asymmetric hydrogen transfer processes, we are
investigating the synthesis of chiral iridium pincer complexes, such as 1.
Preparation of the target catalyst precursors has required optimization
of literature syntheses of chiral phospholane starting materials, such as
secondary phosphine(borane) 2, silylphosphine 3, and
chlorophosphine 4, and exploration
of the scope of these reactions (which R groups can be used?)
