59. 2/ 1a also indicated the presence of an 1:1 species along with a significant amount of free ligand 1a (see the Supporting Information), indicating an equilibration of the species in the precatalyst solution. Presumably, an excess of ligand is required to suppress the background reaction promoted by ligand-free and unselective metal centers.
60. Similar behavior has been observed in bisoxazoline complexes-catalyzed asymmetric fluorination of keto esters, where the choice of the metal salt Cu or Ni has been shown to afford opposite enantioselectivity, see:, N. Shibata, T. Ishimaru, T. Nagai, J. Kohno, T. Toru, Synlett 2004, 1703-1706.
61. 10) in Zn(II). Chiral bisoxazoline metal-bound substrates with these two geometries can afford opposite selectivity, since rotation of a coordinated substrate by 90° moves its accessible face from the shielded into the unshielded region, and vice versa.
