[reaction: see text] A chiral auxiliary is described that provides only one diastereomer during intramolecular Ullmann couplings. Treatment of five Ullmann coupling precursors with Cu powder in DMF at 115 degrees C provides 2,2',3,3',6,6'-hexasubstituted 1,1'-biphenyls as single diastereomers in yields ranging from 66% to 91%.
