This Letter details the synthesis of two new 4,4′-bisoxazoline (BOX) ligands. The copper(II) complex of one of the new ligands is structurally determined. The catalytic performance of the copper(II) complexes of the novel ligands, and that of our recently described phenyl AraBOX ligand in Diels–Alder reactions are reported. We have used the structural information to propose an explanation of a curious variation in the diastereoselectivity obtained in the case of one ligand complex.
Graphical abstractThe synthesis of two new bisoxazoline (BOX) ligands is described. The copper(II) complex of one of the new ligands is structurally determined and the catalytic performance in the copper(II)-catalysed Diels–Alder reaction is reported.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
