C-H trifluoromethanesulfonyloxylation (triflation) of 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) derivatives has been established under mild conditions using 1,3-diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DIH) and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH). Up to eight TfO groups can be introduced in a single operation. The resulting highly oxidized BINOL derivatives can be successfully converted to 8,8'-dihydroxy BINOL and bisnaphthoquinone compounds. Mechanistic studies suggested that C-H triflation occurs in the form of an aromatic substitution reaction via the in situ formation of a radical cation.

Copper(II)-Catalyzed Enantioselective Addition of Aryl Amines to Isatin-Derived -Boc-Ketimines for the Synthesis of Acyclic ,'-Ketals.

Here, we demonstrated a copper(II)-catalyzed enantioselective addition of aryl amines to isatin-derived -Boc-ketimines using chiral O-N-N tridentate ligands derived from BINOL and proline. Generally, the chiral acyclic ,'-ketals were obtained in high yields (up to 98%) and excellent ee values (up to 98%). Various aryl amines could be tolerated and a gram-scale reaction was also possible.

- exhibited significant aggregation-induced Emission (AIE) characteristics, including high brightness (αAIE ≈ 40), robust light stability, a substantial Stokes shift (128 nm), and a high signal-to-noise ratio, effectively overcoming aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). Derived from the axially chiral -H-BINOL, - was synthesized via nucleophilic cyclization and exhibited pronounced self-assembly properties. Through robust intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions, - formed diverse supramolecular structures, including spherical flower-like aggregates, hollow-core triangular tubules, hexagonal tubules, and irregular white block-like stacks.

We report a copper-catalyzed regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective allylic alkylation of allyl bromides using 1,1-diborylalkanes as prochiral nucleophiles. This methodology employs copper(I) bromide as a catalyst, an ()-BINOL-derived phosphoramidite as a ligand, and lithium benzoate as a crucial additive. The reaction affords enantioenriched homoallylic boronic esters possessing vicinal stereocenters in good yields and high diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

Article Synopsis
- Chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) combines a metal racemization catalyst and an enzyme to effectively convert racemic compounds into enantiopure products, with compatibility between the two catalysts as a significant challenge.
- The study introduces a reliable ligand that enhances the coordination between the metal and the ligand, enabling better performance in the DKR process.
- An efficient DKR method was developed using a copper catalyst and lipase LPL-311-Celite, successfully producing high yields of chiral BINOLs and other functionalized chiral biaryls, with a proposed mechanism involving a radical-anion intermediate facilitating the reaction.

Several BINOL-derived C2-symmetric aldehydes were synthesized to investigate chiral self-sorting phenomena during macrocycle formation in the presence of aliphatic and aromatic bisamines. While self-sorting was unsuccessful with aliphatic amines, aromatic amine dictated complete homochiral self-sorting, confirmed by H NMR analysis and molecular modelling. Additionally, the impact of macrocyclization on the chiroptical properties of these macrocycles was examined.
