This study describes a C-2-symmetric ligand comprising a central bipyridine-pinene-derived core and two functionalized diphenylmethanol subunits. [8 '-(Hydroxy-diphenyl-methyl)-10,10,10 ',10 '-tetramethyl-[5,5']bi[6-aza-tricyclo[7.1.1.0(2,7) ]undecyl]-2(7),3,5, 2 '(7 '),3 ',5 '-hexaen-8-yl]-diphenyl-methanol 1 is an effective catalyst in the asymmetric ring opening (ARO) of ineso-epoxides with PhSH and inductions of up to 69% ee. Importantly, there was a correlation between Hammett substituent constants and enantiomeric excesses; the electron-donating substituents at the meta- and para-positions of the substituted stilbene oxides had good enantioselectivity during the epoxide ring opening using PhSH.
