Single enantiomer propeller-shaped polynuclear complexes as catalysts-proof-of-concept for enantioinduction in a Michael addition reaction
We report a family of propeller-shaped polynuclear metal complexes whose overall chirality is dictated Storage Bed by a single stereogenic centre within their component amino alcohol-ligand.These topologically intriguing complexes are readily prepared in enantiomerically pure form and are shown here to catalyse the conjugate addition of barbituric
