“…β-Aminoketonate complexes have been used effectively in stoichiometric (Hsu, Chang et al, 2004;Hsu, Li et al, 2007) and catalytic processes, such as Suzuki cross-coupling (Lai et al, 2005), polymerization (Wang et al, 2006) and copolymerization (Pan et al, 2008) reactions. Interestingly, there are only a few reports on chiral camphor-derived β-aminoketonate ligands (Everett & Powers, 1970;Casella et al, 1979). Generally, β-ketoamines have Z conformations that are stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding (Zharkova et al, 2009).…”
