Abstract

The imines 4 containing a diphenylcarbinol moiety serve as chiral ligands in novel enantiomerically pure imine-alkoxytitanium(IV) complexes. Depending on the molar ratio of the starting materials, imines 4 and titanium tetraisopropoxide, mono-chelated complexes 5 or bis-chelated complexes 6/7 result. The latter are formed diastereoselectively and the isomers 6 are main or exclusive products. Their (A) configuration is determined by a crystal-structure analysis of 6b. The bis-ligand complexes 6 or mixtures of 6/7, which are found to be remarkably stable, are used as precursors not only for the reactive dihalo complexes 8a/8b but also for the preparation of the mixed chloroisopropoxytitanium complex 8c.
