The invention discloses an NNN ligand,
metal complexes thereof, preparation methods and application, and particularly provides an NNN ligand 1, a
metal complex 2 of the NNN ligand, a
metal complex 3 of the NNN ligand and preparation methods of the NNN ligand 1 and the metal complexes, as well as application of the metal complex 3 of the NNN ligand to
catalysis on
hydroboration reaction of bis-substituted olefin, especially application of the metal complex 3 to
catalysis on asymmetric
hydroboration reaction of 1, 1-bis-substituted olefin. The metal complex 3 of the NNN ligand has good catalytic activity in the
hydroboration reaction of the bis-substituted olefin, especially asymmetric hydroboration reaction of the 1, 1-bis-substituted olefin, has excellent
regioselectivity and enantioselectivity, and is high in yield and mild in
reaction conditions; besides, the preparation methods of the NNN ligand and the metal complexes thereof are simple, environment-friendly, mild in
reaction conditions, relatively high in yield, and simple in post-
processing, and the raw materials are low in cost and easy to obtain, so that the preparation methods are suitable for industrial production. (The formulas of the NNN ligand 1, metal complex 2 and metal complex 3 are shown in the description).
