Abstract

Chiral biferrocene-based bis(oxazoline) compounds, which have both planar and central chirality, are synthesized. The Cu(l)-complexes of the bis(oxazolinyl)biferrocenes were found to be conformationally flexible and have a wide bite angle (136a) by NMR and molecular modeling studies. The complexes catalyzed the intramolecular cyclopropanation reaction of ene- diazoacetates, and low to moderate enantioselectivities and decreased reactivity were observed, compared to known malonate-derived bis(oxazoline) systems.
