Synthesis and applications of optically active metallacycles derived from primary amines

The synthesis of optically active cyclopalladated derivatives containing primary amines and their application as resolving agents of Lewis bases is reviewed. Some other applications such as the determination of the absolute configuration of coordinated chiral phosphines and the synthesis of chiral liquid crystals are also presented.
