Novel C 2-symmetric bisoxazoline ligands 4 and 5 having an axis-fixed and -unfixed biaryl backbone, respectively, and a hydroxyl group in the substituent of the oxazoline ring, were prepared from biaryl dicarboxylic acids and l-serine methyl ester hydrochloride through the corresponding bisoxazolines 7 and the biphenyl derivative bearing a methoxycarbonyl substituent as the intermediate. With these ligands, up to 88% ee was afforded for the asymmetric alkylation of benzaldehyde with diethylzinc.
