Popis: The hemilabile chiral C 2 symmetrical bidentate substituted amide ligands (1 R ,2 R )- 5 a-d and (1 S ,2 S )- 6 a-d were synthesized in quantitative yield from (1 R ,2 R )-(+)-3-methylenecyclo-propane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid (1 R ,2 R )- 3 and (1 S ,2 S )-(-)-3-methylene-cyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid (1 S ,2 S )- 3 , in two steps, respectively. The chiral Feist’s acids (1 R ,2 R )- 3 and (1 S ,2 S )- 3 were obtained in good isomeric purity by resolution of trans -(±)-3-methylene-cyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid from an 8:2 mixture of tert -butanol and water, using ( R )-(+)-α-methylbenzyl amine as a chiral reagent. This process is reproducible on a large scale. All these new synthesized chiral ligands were characterized by 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, IR, and mass spectrometry, as well as elemental analysis and their specific rotations were measured. These new classes of C 2 symmetric chiral bisamide ligands could be of special interest in asymmetric transformations. Keywords: resolution of Feist’s acid; bisamide ligand
