Abstract

A series of homochiral C3-symmetric triethers has been made in a one- step procedure from the corresponding homochiral alcohols. The range of present and potential structural variety is assessed, as is the triethers' potential use as ligands in organometallic complexes The synthesis of homochiral C3-symmetric triamides from amines and from aminols is also reported, with their potential metal binding characteristics.
