Stable Diaqua Palladium(II) Complexes of BINAP and Tol-BINAP as Highly Efficient Catalysts for Asymmetric Aldol Reactions

All articles of this category The novel chiral diaqua palladium(II) complexes of ( R )-BINAP 9a and ( R )-Tol-BINAP 9b were prepared in good yield, and their structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. These air- and moisture-stable complexes were found to be excellent catalysts for the asymmetric aldol reaction, and up to 89% ee of asymmetric induction was achieved using these catalysts. asymmetric aldol reaction - diaqua palladium complex - chiral catalyst
