Recent Applications of C ₁-Symmetric Bis(oxazoline)-Containing Ligands in Asymmetric Catalysis

Abstract

Bis(oxazolines) are a well-known class of ligands in the area of asymmetric catalysis. Most of these ligands are C ₂-symmetric due to the synthetic route employed for their synthesis. This review article summarizes the recent progress of the closely related, but relatively unexplored, C ₁-symmetric bis(oxazoline) ligands and compares and contrasts the two where applicable.
