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 (

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

symmetric chiral bisamide ligands could be of special interest in asymmetric transformations.
