The synthesis and characterization of the chiral bifunctional NHC ligands based on the imidazo[1,5-]pyridine (ImPy) scaffold are described. These ligands possess a fluxional biaryl axis and a chiral center. The configurational stability of the biaryl axis in their gold(I) complexes is investigated. The application of these axially chiral ImPy-based AuCl complexes in a series of gold catalysis is explored, and varying degrees of asymmetric induction are observed. In most cases, the ligand (a)- with its cyclohexyl group pointing to the reaction site and hence exerting asymmetric steric influence is more effective in asymmetric induction.
描述了基于咪唑并[1,5 -]吡啶(ImPy)骨架的手性双功能NHC配体的合成与表征。这些配体具有一个可旋转的联芳基轴和一个手性中心。研究了它们的金(I)配合物中联芳基轴的构型稳定性。探索了这些基于轴手性ImPy的AuCl配合物在一系列金催化反应中的应用,并观察到了不同程度的不对称诱导作用。在大多数情况下,配体(a)——其环己基指向反应位点并因此施加不对称空间影响——在不对称诱导方面更有效。
