Abstract 3-Aryl-l-menthopyrazoles 1 and 2 and related compounds were prepared from l- menthone, and their enantioselective activities were discussed as chiral ligands. In this series of compounds, 2, 6-bis (2-methyl-l-menthopyrazol-3-yl) pyridine (8a), which had both structural features of 3-phenyl-l-menthopyrazole (1b) and C 2 symmetric ligand in the molecule, should form the C 2 symmetric complex in situ with Zn (OTf) 2 or Ni (ClO 4) 2• ...
