Chiral bis(oxazoline) derivatives (BOX) for catalytic applications abcr provides a series of bis(oxazoline) compounds („BOX“) which could be applied as ligands in a wide varie- ty of enantioselective reactions. The excellent enantioselectivities show their enormous potential for synthe- tic procedures giving access to new structural motifs.
