General description

(4S)-(+)-Phenyl-α-[(4S)-phenyloxazolidin-2-ylidene]-2-oxazoline-2-acetonitrile is a C2-symmetric chiral bisoxazoline (BOX) ligand.

Application

(4S)-(+)-Phenyl-α-[(4S)-phenyloxazolidin-2-ylidene]-2-oxazoline-2-acetonitrile/Re(V)-oxo complex can catalyze the asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketones.
Ligand for enantioselective catalysis. Easily forms bidentate coordination complexes due to the strong affinity of the oxazoline nitrogen for various metals.
