Contrasting behaviour of related palladium complex-derived resolving agents. 8-H conformational locking of the 1-naphthyl side-chain
Abstract
The X-ray crystal structures of palladium complexes 4 and 6 derived from (R)-N,N-dimethyl-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine and (S)-N,N-dimethyl-1-phenylethylamine, respectively, are reported; in the latter case two diastereoisomers differing both in the ligand configuration and the conformation of the C,N-chelate ring cocrystallise as a quasiracemate.
