Of particular interest is the supporting of chiral species for asymmetric catalysis.
This approach is becoming increasingly popular in Organic Chemistry as an alternative to the used of expensive chiral catalysts and auxiliaries.
We believe that this may be adapted to prepare novel chiral chelating diamines.
An experimental and computational study of the enantioselective lithiation of N -Boc pyrrolidine using sparteine-like chiral diamines, J. Am.
A high correlation has been found between the scaled index and helical twisting power for a range of chiral dopants.
