Determination of absolute configuration of (pi-allyl) palladium complexes by NMR spectroscopy and stereoselective complexation.
The chiral chelating ligand N,N'-bis(phenylethyl)bispidine (1) forms a rigid cavity which accommodates (pi-allyl)palladium species with high selectivity. In the resulting complex, the absolute configuration of the pi-allyl ligand can be determined by the detection in NMR spectra of a few unambiguous interligand NOEs. Dynamic processes involving the pi-allyl ligand can be investigated. Depending on the analytical target, ligand (S,S)-1 or (R,R)-1 may be used.
