Palladium Complexes Bearing Chiral bis(NHC) Chelating Ligands on a Spiro Scaffold: Synthesis, Characterization, and Their Application in the Oxidative Kinetic Resolution of Secondary Alcohols

Abstract

A series of chiral bis-N-heterocyclic carbene ligands H2[(S)-1a–d]X2 (X = Br, I) on a spiro scaffold and their palladium complexes (S)-2a–d and (S)-3a,b were prepared and applied in the enantiosele...
