Abstract
A new stereospecific ligand, ethylenediamine-N,N'-di(S)-α-isocapronic acid, was synthesized by condensation of (S)-leucine with 1,2-dibromoethane in alkaline aqueous medium. It follows from the 1H and 13C NMR spectra that the terminal methyl groups are chemically and magnetically nonequivalent. Of the four theoretically possible isomers of the ternary cobalt (III) complex with ethylenediamine, separation on catex yielded only one, whose absolute configuration was determined by a combination of 1H and 13C NMR, electron absorption spectroscopy and CD and IR spectroscopy.
