Dynamic control of topological asymmetry:
Ligand synthesis

The modeled ligands were synthesized in the racemic and enantiomerically pure forms [1], as shown in the schemes below. Enantiomerically pure ligands were prepared by classical resolution of the racemic mixture of the corresponding amine. A list of the full chemical names for the ligands is available.

Scheme 1 [2]
Synthesis of a-MeTPA
[Scheme of synthesis of the MeTPA ligand]


Scheme 2 [3]
Synthesis of a-PhTPA
[Scheme of synthesis of the PhTPA ligand]


Scheme 3 [2]
Synthesis of a-MeBQPA
[Scheme of synthesis of the MeBQPA ligand]
