A new class of orthoacylimine-derived chiral auxiliaries has been synthesized and tested in the nucleophilic addition of organolithium reagents to imines. The precursors can be prepared by an aza-Wittig reaction between the corresponding orthoacyl azide and a variety of aldehydes

The reactions of the soft diphosphines o-C6H4(PMe2)2, Me2P(CH2)2PMe2, Et2P(CH2)2PEt2 or o-C6H4(PPh2)2 with NbF5 or TaF5 in anhydrous MeCN solution produce [MF4(diphosphine)2][MF6] (M = Nb or Ta), which have been characterised by microanalysis, IR, (1)H, (19)F{(1)H}, (31)P{(1)H} and (93)Nb NMR spectroscopy.

A 31P-NMR study of trimethyl phosphine bound to the heme iron(II) atom in natural myoglobins, hemoglobins and synthetic porphyrin iron(II) shows that the iron-bound trimethylphosphine 31P chemical shifts are sensitive to the presence of globin:separated NMR signals can be observed
