Abstract

Complexes of chiral phosphoramides 4 and 5 with tin-based Lewis acids were studied by both X-ray crystallography and low temperature 119Sn NMR spectroscopy. The structure of a ternary complex between 5, SnCl4 and benzaldehyde was also obtained and provided a detailed view of the binding of both aldehyde and phosphoramide to Lewis acids. 119Sn NMR, spectroscopy indicated that a 2/1 stoichiometry of phosphoramide to tin is favored in solution as well.
