The small library of new enantiomerically pure (S,S)-diamino alcohols 1 and their hydroxyldiamide precursors 2 were conveniently synthesized on a gram scale from inexpensive and commercially chiral pool amino acids. The catalytic and induced asymmetric effects of the chiral ligands 1 in the asymmetric allylic oxidation of cycloolefins were investigated.
