The present contribution reviews the synthesis, structures, reactivity and applications in asymmetric catalysis of metal complexes containing monoanionic bisoxazolinate ligands. The anionic and bidentate bisoxazolinate ligand, which may be seen as a nitrogenated version of the acetylacetonate unit and may also be closely related to the diketiminate bidentate ligand, appears to exhibit a rich and versatile coordination chemistry with various metal centers. These excellent coordination properties, combined with the ready accessibility of chiral bisoxazolinate ligands in an enantiomerically pure form, has opened the way to various applications in asymmetric catalysis involving this class of bidentate ligands. Thus, the use of chiral bisoxazolinate ligands in asymmetric catalysis constitutes a central part of this review. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
