Abstract

A group of new chiral dications with a fixed, specific configuration at the stereogenic nitrogen center was created. Stereoselective synthesis and recrystallization give the diastereomerically and enantiomerically pure dications, including a chiral amphiphile with surface-active properties.

Keywords: amines; chiral ammonium salts; chiral interfaces; chirality.
