Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Caught in a pincer</bold>: A chiral, imidazolidine‐derived NCN‐type palladium pincer complex has been prepared using a ligand introduction technique. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis of this complex showed a well‐organized asymmetric sphere. The neutral palladium/chloride version exhibited significant catalytic activity for the reaction of nitroalkenes with malononitrile to give products in a highly enantioselective manner (see scheme).<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1pjx000n" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
