The chiral bis(bipyridine) ligand L *, belonging to the "chiragen" family, has been synthesized. The synthetic pathway involves an original preparation of acylnicotinates which is of synthetic value. The synthetic strategy described here may allow the access to various bisbidentate ligands, well-suited to the self-assembly of enantiomerically pure helicates.
