Several new ligands featuring a rigid three ring skeleton have been prepared for the first time following a modular approach. Chirality has been introduced by use of an oxazoline moiety fused with a cyclopenta[ b ]thiophene backbone. The efficiency and stereochemical impact of these ligands on the copper‐catalyzed enantioselective addition of Et 2 Zn to chalcone was examined and enantiomeric excesses up to 79% were achieved using the ligand ( R , R )‐ 16 substituted with a methyl group at the cyclopenta moiety. Computational and ESI‐mass spectral studies show that these new compounds behave as monodentate ligands towards Cu + . (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004)
