Five new <i>C</i><sub>2</sub>-symmetric chiral ligands of 2,5-<i>bis</i>(imidazolinyl)thiophene (<b>L1</b><b>-L3</b>) and 2,5-<i>bis</i>(oxazolinyl)thiophene (<b>L4</b> and <b>L5</b>) were synthesized from thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (<b>1</b>) with enantiopure amino alcohols (<b>4a</b>-<b>c</b>) in excellent optical purity and chemical yield. The utility of these new chiral ligands for Friedel-Crafts asymmetric alkylation was explored. Subsequently, the optimized tridentate ligand <b>L5</b> ...[more]
