BINOL-phosphoric acid catalysts have been used successfully in many reactions involving imines. In this paper, we present a model, based on DFT calculations, for describing the degree and sense of the enantioselectivity of these reactions that is able to predict the correct enantioselectivity for the reactions in more than 40 recent publications. We rationalize the different factors on which the enantioselectivity depends, focusing on the E- or Z-preference of the transition structures and the orientation of the catalyst with respect to the electrophile.

Herein, we report the synthesis of β-aminoketones by oxidative coupling of allyl alcohols at room temperature using a pyrazole based palladacycle and BINOL-phosphoric acid system. This method avoids the use of any base, external oxidant, and additive. The reaction of -anisidine and 1-penten-3-ol under the optimized conditions using isolated palladacycle-BINOL-phosphoric acid produced the desired product in 24 h, which suggests that the active species involved in this reaction is the palladacycle-BINOL-phosphoric acid.

An organocatalytic, highly enantioselective [6 + 2]-cycloaddition of 2-methide-2-pyrroles with aryl acetaldehydes represents a novel and straightforward route toward densely substituted 2,3-dihydro-1-pyrrolizin-3-ols, which were generated with good yields and high enantio- and diastereoselectivity. This one-step process involves a BINOL-phosphoric acid catalyzed reaction of 1-pyrrole-2-carbinols with aryl acetaldehydes via the corresponding hydrogen-bonded, chiral 2-methide-2-pyrroles.

A chiral small molecule gelator ()-HL based on 1,1'-bi-2,2'-naphthol (BINOL)-phosphoric acid was designed and prepared, which spontaneously forms a stable water-induced gel. The gelation mechanism was revealed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and a number of spectroscopic methods. Addition of Cu improved the gelation ability, and the resultant metal organic gel realized visual enantioselective and chemoselective recognition toward L-histidine from enantiomers of 19 amino acids gel collapse.

The linking of phosphoric acids via covalent or mechanical bonds has proven to be a successful strategy for the design of novel organocatalysts. Here, we present the first systematic investigation of singly-linked and macrocyclic bisphosphoric acids, including their synthesis and their application in phase-transfer and Brønsted acid catalysis. We found that the novel bisphosphoric acids show dramatically increased enantioselectivities in comparison to their monophosphoric acid analogues.

An organocatalytic, highly diastereo- and enantioselective [6 + 2]-cycloaddition of 3-methide-3-pyrroles with 2-vinylindoles has been developed. This BINOL phosphoric acid-catalyzed reaction utilizes pyrrole-3-carbinols as precursors for the in situ generation of 3-methide-3-pyrroles to access densely substituted cyclopenta[]pyrroles bearing three contiguous stereogenic centers as single diastereomers in good yields with excellent enantioselectivity.
