A new method of synthesis of an analogue of Bolm's 2,2′-bipyridine ligand based on the catalytic [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization of 1-halodiynes with nitriles was developed. Crucial step of the whole synthesis turned out to be homodimerization of a substituted 2-bromopyridine to the corresponding bipyridine, that was studied and optimized. The newly prepared bipyridine (S,S)-2 was then tested as a chiral ligand in metal-catalyzed enantioselective reactions. Out of the studied reactions the most promising results were obtained in epoxide ring opening (82% yield, 98% ee) and Mukaiyama aldol reaction (>96% yield, 99/1 dr, 92% ee). In the case of Mukaiyama-aldol reaction as well as in the Michael addition, novel ligand 2 proved its robustness compared to Bolm's ligand as it was less sensitive to the purity of used reagents.

The ring-opening of epoxides is a synthetically significant process widely applied in all kinds of chemistry. Herein, we report the catalytic and highly enantioselective variant of this reaction exploiting our recent endeavors to design and synthesize chi

A novel series of modular chiral polyether podands derived from enantiomerically pure hydrobenzoin and binaphthol has been prepared using a NaH/15-crown-5 mediated Williamson ether synthesis. These new homochiral ligands form catalytically active complexes with lanthanide triflates, two of which have been characterised by X-ray diffraction.
