Adaptable ligands

Ligands do not have to be rigid to be effective in catalysis. couple recent contributions highlight the potential value of conformational flexibility in different forms of catalysis. Sibi and coworkers, for instance, have explored orders in which chiral ligands can web in four diastereomeric forms varying at the configuration of nitrogen middles that freely invert prior to complexation (J Am Chem Soc 2003 125 0306) The C-based asymmetry probably steers ...
