Organocatalytic aryl-aryl bond formation: An atroposelective [3,3]-rearrangement approach to BINAM derivatives

TL;DR: Density functional calculations reveal that, in the transition state for C-C bond formation, the phosphoric acid proton of the catalyst is fully transferred to one of the N-atoms of the substrate, and the resulting phosphate acts as a chiral counterion.
