Synthesis, separation, and identification of optically active bis(pentane-2,4-dionato)(S-amino-acidato)chromium(III) complexes
Abstract
The synthesis of [Cr(S-amino-acid)(acac)2] complexes (where S-amino-acid =S-alanine, S-valine, S-proline and acac = pentane-2,4-dione) is described along with techniques for separating the diastereoisomers into their optically active chiral forms.
