Organic synthesis at co-ordinated ligands: synthesis and stabilisation of a pyrroline ring system and X-ray structure of (tetra-ammine)-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-Δ1- pyrroline-2-carboxylatocobalt(III) perchlorate hydrate

Abstract

The rapid stereospecific synthesis and stabilisation of a pyrroline carboxylate using co-ordinated nitrogen and carbanion nucleophiles, and the X-ray structure of (tetra-ammine)-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-Δ¹- pyrroline-2-carboxylatocobalt(III) perchlorate hydrate, is described.
