A novel chiral yttrium complex with a tridentate linked amido-indenyl ligand for intramolecular hydroamination†
Abstract
A new chiral silicon-linked tridentate amido-indenyl ligand was developed from indene and enantiopure 1,2-cyclohexanediamine. Its yttrium complex was synthesized, characterized and applied to efficiently catalyze the intramolecular hydroamination of non-activated olefins with up to 97% ee.
