C_2-symmetric bis(oxazolinato) complexes of yttrium and lanthanum

摘要

Chiral 2,2′-methylene-bis[(4S)-4-tert-butyl-2-oxazoline] reacts with Ln[N(SiHMe_2)_2]_3 (thf)_2 (Ln = Y, La) via an extended silylamide route to yield the first mono- and bis-(bisoxazolinato) complexes, potentially relevant to enantio-selective catalysis.
