Abstract

New chiral pincer ligands having CH=N moieties were synthesized by condensation of 1H-pyrrole-2,5-dicarbaldehyde with l-methionine and l-histidine methyl esters. Their reduction under mild conditions (NaBH4, −30°C) gave the corresponding amine ligands in high yields. An improved procedure for the preparation of 1H-pyrrole-2,5-dicarbaldehyde was proposed.
