Coordination of Chiral Amines to Coordinatively Unsaturated Cp*Ir-Amino Acid Complexes Allows Determination of Enantiomeric Purity

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0957-4166(95)00070-6

Coordinatively unsaturated complexes of the Cp*Ir fragment to the dianion of N-tosylamino acids combine with chiral amines in a highly diastereoselective fashion, such that metallacycle substituents R (amino acid side chain) and Cp* are cis.Observation of
