ortho-Haloarylcarbamates like 1-4 show a high rotational barrier about the N--aryl bond of up to 91.6 kJ mol(-1) as found for 1, which was determined by 2D exchange NMR spectroscopy (EXSY). It was further demonstrated that the height of the barrier not only depends on the substituents at the axis of chirality, but is also influenced by electronic effects.

Enantioselective Synthesis of Atropisomeric Tri-Axis Naphthalenes via Diels-Alder Reaction and Dehydrative Aromatization of Isobenzofurans.

Atropisomers with multiple stereogenic axes have attracted much attention due to their increasing significance in the fields of natural products, chiral materials, and drug discoveries. However, the catalytic stereoselective construction of axially chiral ring scaffolds with more than two axes on a single benzene ring remains a challenging task. Herein, we present an efficient method for synthesizing triaxially chiral polysubstituted naphthalene scaffolds via sequential Ni(II)-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of isobenzofurans and TfOH-promoted dehydrative aromatization reaction.

A desymmetrizing 1,2-addition of silicon nucleophiles to biaryl derivatives containing an 2,6-dicarbaldehyde-1-yl unit is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by copper with a triazolium-ion-derived N-heterocyclic carbene as the chiral ligand and makes use of an Si-B reagent as the silicon pronucleophile. The practical methodology furnishes axially chiral aromatic carbaldehydes decorated with a centrally chiral α-hydroxysilane moiety in moderate to good yields and with high enantio- as well as excellent diastereoselectivities.

Article Synopsis
- Axially chiral diaryl ethers are a special type of compound important in natural products and pharmaceuticals but are difficult to synthesize due to their complex structure.
- The research introduces a new method that uses an organocatalyzed asymmetric Povarov reaction to efficiently create these compounds while achieving high yields and enantioselectivities.
- The findings reveal that even simpler diaryl ether atropisomers can maintain stable configurations, suggesting a reevaluation of previous assumptions in the field and highlighting the potential for further applications of these compounds.

The biphenyl molecule (CH) acts as a fundamental molecular backbone in the stereoselective synthesis of organic materials due to its inherent twist angle causing atropisomerism in substituted derivatives and in molecular mass growth processes in circumstellar environments and combustion systems. Here, we reveal an unconventional low-temperature phenylethynyl addition-cyclization-aromatization mechanism for the gas-phase preparation of biphenyl (CH) along with -, -, and -substituted methylbiphenyl (CH) derivatives through crossed molecular beams and computational studies providing compelling evidence on their formation bimolecular gas-phase reactions of phenylethynyl radicals (CHCC, XA) with 1,3-butadiene- (CD), isoprene (CHC(CH)CHCH), and 1,3-pentadiene (CHCHCHCHCH). The dynamics involve de-facto barrierless phenylethynyl radical additions submerged barriers followed by facile cyclization and hydrogen shift prior to hydrogen atom emission and aromatization to racemic mixtures (, ) of biphenyls in overall exoergic reactions.

Triceptides are a class of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides defined by an aromatic C(sp) to Cβ(sp) bond. The Gly-rich repeat family of triceptide maturases (TIGR04261) are paired with precursor peptides (TIGR04260) containing a Gly-rich core peptide. These maturases are prevalent in cyanobacteria and catalyze cyclophane formation on multiple Ω1-X2-X3 motifs (Ω1 = Trp and Phe) of the Gly-rich precursor peptide.
