Stereochemically
inert and positively charged chiral complexes
of CoIII prepared from Schiff bases derived from chiral
diamines and salicylaldehydes were shown to be efficient catalysts
of the asymmetric phase transfer benchmark reaction of alkylation
of O’Donnell’s substrate with alkyl halides. The enantiomeric
purities of the reaction products were up to 92%.
