The chiral bidentate ligands 1 forms stable chiral metal complexes with Lewis acids such as Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O, Cu(OTf)2, and Ni(ClO4)2. These chiral metal complexes are Lewis acid catalysts that have excellent stereocontrol and are used in a number of assymmetric reactions. For example, the dienophiles 2 undergo a Diels-Alder reaction with cyclopentadiene in the presence of chiral metal complex derived from 1b and Cu(ClO4)2·6H2 to give the adducts 3 with high enantioselectivity.1b) Metal complexes of 1 are also effective chiral catalyst for asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder reactions,2a) radical reactions,2b) sigmatropic rearrangements,2c) and phospho-transfer reaction.2d) The utility of ligand 1 is expected to increase as various substituents are introduced to methylene position of 1.3)
