A new type of bisoxazoline ligand 4 (abbreviated as SpiroBOX) containing a chiral spirobiindane scaffold were easily prepared in high yields from enantiomerically pure 1,1′-spirobiindane-7,7′-diol (SPINOL) with 1,1′-spirobiindane-7,7′-dicarboxylic acid as the key intermediate. Ligands 4 were applied to the Cu-catalyzed asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrenes with menthyl diazoacetate and allylic oxidation of cyclic alkenes with tert-butyl perbenzoates. The copper complexes of ligands 4 showed high activities and moderate to good enantioselectivities.
