The new ligand（1R, 2R）（+）N,N-bis（8-quinolinesulfonylamino）-1,2-diphenylethylene diamine（BQSDA） was synthesized. The 1∶1 chiral crystal was formed from BQSDA with acetone. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P21, a=0.971 7（2） nm, b=0.949 5（10） nm, c=1. 754 2（3） nm, α=γ=90°, β=97.130°, V=1.606（5） nm3, Dc=1.35 g/cm3. There is a hydrogen bond N1—H…O5 between BQSDA and acetone. The ligand has been used as the chiral catalyst in asymmetric hydrogen transfer reaction of acetophenone in a high yield with e. e. up to 66.5%.
Staring from ferrocene,we conveniently synthesized a series of chiral mono,di ferrocenyl schiff bases in ambient condition.The optical yields were good.And their structures were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR,and Elemental analysis.In addition.we discussed the effect of the stuctures of bases on the reactions.
