Journal ArticleDOI

Resolution of racemic carboxylic acid derivatives by Ti-TADDOLate mediated esterification reactions—A general method for the preparation of enantiopure compounds

TL;DR: In this paper, the Lewis-acid mediated transfer of an alkoxide ligand from the chiral ligand sphere of Ti-TADDOLates 1 to cyclic carboxylic acid derivatives is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

The lactone concept—a novel approach to the metal-assisted atroposelective construction of axially chiral biaryl systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral biaryls via configurationally unstable, lactone-bridged biaryl is reviewed, which can be cleaved highly atropo-enantio- or -diastereoselectively by three principal options, either (a) by using a wide range of chiral metalated nucleophiles (usually with external asymmetric induction), or (b) after Lewis acid activation of the lactone CO function using uncharged chiral or achiral nucleoph
Journal ArticleDOI

The directed synthesis of axially chiral ligands, reagents, catalysts, and natural products through the ‘lactone methodology’

TL;DR: The Lactone methodology as discussed by the authors provides directed, atropo-divergent access to any of the two respective atropisomers starting from the identical immediate precursor, a (usually) configurationally unstable, since lactone-bridged biaryl.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atropisomerization Barriers of Configurationally Unstable Biaryl Compounds, Useful Substrates for Atroposelective Conversions to Axially Chiral Biaryls†

TL;DR: In this article, the activation barriers of 2-acyl-2-hydroxy biaryls were determined by dynamic NMR spectroscopy for rapid processes and by HPLC-monitored racemization of enantiomerically enriched material for smaller interconversion rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes using novel axially chiral 2-aminomethyl-1-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)naphthalene catalysts

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of atropo-enantiomerically pure aminomethyl and hydroxymethyl substituted biaryls derivatives M - 2 and M - 3 by dynamic kinetic resolution of a racemic lactone precursor is described.
