The synthesis of amine bis(phenolate) ligands with green chemistry applications was performed via the Mannich reaction. Amine groups were varied and included a variety of amino acid precursors. Synthesis conditions were optimized and ligands were characterized utilizing 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. This included the determination of protonation state of the ligands via a 1H NMR spectroscopy experiment. Ligands were then complexed to metal centers and the complexes were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Applications of this research include the development of catalysts for polymerization.
