A series of isoquinoline-based chiral diimine ligands are conveniently prepared via Bischler–Napieralski cyclization. The C2-symmetric diimine ligand 1a is effective in Cu(II)-catalyzedenantioselectiveHenryreactions between nitromethane and various aldehydes (11 examples), showing 50–89% yield and 75–93% ee.

An enantioselective iron-catalyzed cross-[4+2]-cycloaddition of unactivated branched and linear dienes is described. The illustrated process provides a very efficient and atom-economic access to chiral 1,3-substituted vinyl-cyclohexenes under very mild reaction conditions. The development of a chiral bis-dihydroisoquinoline ligand class was essential to obtain excellent levels of chemo-, regio- and
