The synthesis of a new optically active aminophosphine ligand i-Pramphos, containing a potentially stereogenic nitrogen atom, from (S)-N-isopropyl-N-methyl-~-methylbenzylamine is described; its complex with palladium(u) chloride was obtained. NMR spectroscopy revealed that the coordination of the arninophosphine with the metal resulted in stereospecific locking of the donor nitrogen atom in only one of two possible configurations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
