Practical Approach to Structurally Diverse Monoimine Salts and Nonsymmetrical Metallosalphen Complexes Eduardo C. Escudero-Adán Marta Martínez Belmonte Jordi Benet-Buchholz Arjan W. Kleij 10.1021/ol101898y.s004 https://acs.figshare.com/articles/journal_contribution/Practical_Approach_to_Structurally_Diverse_Monoimine_Salts_and_Nonsymmetrical_Metallosalphen_Complexes/2721799 A practical approach toward the synthesis of monoimine NBu<sub>4</sub> salts derived from Zn(salphen) complexes is described. The method involves nucleophilic addition of the hydroxide anion to the imine bond followed by hydrolysis. These monoimines provide accessible and useful reagents for the synthesis of (chiral) metallosalens with fine-tunable properties. 2010-10-15 00:00:00 nucleophilic addition complex hydrolysis monoimine NBu 4 salts Practical Approach Nonsymmetrical Metallosalphen Complexes imine bond approach method synthesis Zn hydroxide anion chiral reagent Structurally Diverse Monoimine Salts metallosalen
