Charge-induced facial-selectivity in the formation of new cationic planar chiral iridacycles derived from aniline†
Abstract
The reaction of chiral chlorido-iridacyclic 2-(4-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)pyridines with solvato-type [Cp*M(S)3]q+ (M = Ru, S = MeCN, q = 1; M = Ir, S = MeC(O)Me, q = 2) complexes produces new cationic racemic planar chiral iridacycles in an efficient and diastereospecific way.
