Abstract

The syntheses and full characterization of chiral amine alcohol complexes of aluminum are reported. These complexes are of two general formulae, those resulting from the reaction of 1 equiv of an aluminum reagent with an amine alcohol, [AA-AlR2]2 (where AA = phenylglycinol (PGly), R = Me (1), Et (2), SiMe3 (3); phenylalaninol (PAla), R = Me (4), Et (5), SiMe3 (6); and diphenylalaninol (DPAla), R = Me (7), Et (8), SiMe3 (9), and the series resulting from teh reaction of 2 equiv of AlMe3 with an amine alcohol, AA(AlMe2) - AlMe3 (where AA = PGly (10), PAla (11), and DPAla (12)). These compounds significantly increase the number of chiral group 13 complexes that have been reported in the literature. Additionally, the crystal structures of 5, 6, and 11 have been obtained.
