During the course of our work Kishi published in detail on his attempts to design an efficient chiral ligand for the Ni(II)/Cr(II) coupling reaction. To date the best ligand is based on a 2,2′-dipyridyl ring system, which has only produced modest levels of diastereoselection in chosen coupling reactions,
