There are a few privileged classes of ligands that have found extensive use in enantioselective reactions, and bisoxazolines is one such class. 7 Bisoxazolines are readily accessed from chiral amino alcohols and dicarboxylic acids. The number of dicarboxylic acids that have been utilized for chiral bisoxazoline synthesis is rather small, and we surmised that a biomass-derived dicarboxylic acid would make a
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
