Abstract:
A method for the facile synthesis of chiral germanium(IV) binaphthoxide complexes from the corresponding binaphthols and an organogermanium trichloride has been developed, which allows these unusual types of compounds to be synthesized in high yields. The crystal structure of one such complex, (S)-[Ge{O2C20H10(SiMe3)2-3,3'}{Cl}{Ph}], has been determined.
