Induction of an Enantiomeric Excess in a Calix[4]arene/Bipyridine‐Based chiral copper(i) complex

Abstract
Introduction of the non‐complexing chiral (S)‐2‐methylbutoxy substituent close to the complexing site of a bis[(bipyridinyl)methoxy]calixarene podand resulted in the induction of an enantiomeric excess of ca. 30 % in the corresponding chiral CuI complex. Structural investigations by high‐resolution NMR studies led us to propose the left‐handed prohelical [CuI(bpy)2] substructure for the major enantiomer.
