Applications of optically active metallacycles: new useful materials for the determination of the enantiomeric excess of Lewis bases and as resolvin agents for monodentate phosphines Authors Guillermo Muller Jaume Ramon Granell Abstract The synthesis of new optically active cyclopalladated derivatives containing imines and primary amines is described as well as their applications for the determination of the enantiomeric excess and as resolving agents of Lewis bases. The synthesis and resolution of new monodentate P-chiral tertiary phosphines is also reported, as well as the application of these new ligands to asymmetric catalysis. Besides this, some chiral secondary phosphines have been prepared and their configurational stability has been studied.
