(1R,2R)-(−)-N,N'-Bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine: a Salen Ligand of Jacobsen's Catalyst

In the title compound, C₃₆H₅₄N₂O₂, two salicylideneimine moieties are situated nearly perpendicular to each other so that one of them has to be rotated for complexation. There are O—H...N intramolecular hydrogen bonds in both salicylideneimine moieties.
