Chiral Heterocyclic Ligands. II. Synthesis and Palladium(II) Complexes of Chiral Pyrazolylmethyl-Pyridines and Pyrazolylmethyl-Pyrazoles

Abstract

The syntheses of the pyrazolylmethylpyridines (5a-c), their chiral derivatives (7) and (8), and the chiral methylenebisindazoles (9)-(11) are reported. These bidentate ligands form stable 1 : 1 complexes with PdCl₂. A single-crystal X-ray structure determination of dichloro [(4S,7R)-7,8,8-trimethyl-2-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-2H-indazole]palladium(II),(16), is also reported.
