Axial chiral biaryl skeletons are widely found in biologically active molecules, catalysts and chiral functional materials. However, highly catalytic stereoselective synthesis of tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls remains a challenging task. In this paper, we describe an efficient approach for construction of axially tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls via Suzuki-Miyaura coupling in the presence of a chiral monophosphate ligand developed by ourselves. This method provides a variety of products in good enantioselectivities and good yields (up to 90.7:9.3 er and 82% yield) under mild conditions. Further control experiments indicate that the chiral side chain is crucial to the enantioselectivity.

Synthesis of the Tetracyclic Spiro-naphthoquinone Chartspiroton.

Org Lett

April 2024

Department of Organic Chemistry and Center for Molecular Biosciences, University of Innsbruck, Innrain 80-82, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria.

Chartspiroton is a recently discovered naphthoquinone natural product that features a spiro-fused benzofuran lactone. We report its first synthesis via an 11-step linear sequence. The sterically hindered tetra--substituted biaryl subunit was installed by base-induced ring expansion of a readily available 1,3-indandione.

Facile Assembly of Modular-Type Phosphines for Tackling Modern Arylation Processes.

Acc Chem Res

December 2022

Department of Chemistry and State Key Laboratory of Synthetic Chemistry, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong, China.

This Account presents an overview of a promising collection of phosphine ligands simply made from the modular Fischer indolization process and their applications in modern arylation processes. Using one easily accessible 2-arylindole scaffold, three major phosphino-moiety-positioned ligand series can be readily generated. We have attempted to explore challenging electrophilic and nucleophilic partners for the coupling reaction using the modular ligand tool.

Torsional Strain-Independent Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Biaryl Atropisomers.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

October 2022

College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Hangzhou Institute of Innovative Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310058, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Catalytic asymmetric dynamic kinetic resolution is an emerging method for creating atropisomers, but its effectiveness is limited by the torsional strain of biaryl substrates.
  • This study introduces a new reaction between biaryl thionolactones and activated isocyanides that is independent of torsional strain, enabling the synthesis of tri- and tetra-ortho-substituted thiazole-containing biaryls with high yields and enantioselectivities.
  • The research also outlines how these compounds can be easily transformed into a new type of bridged biaryl with an eight-membered lactone, and includes mechanistic studies that explain the unique reactivity observed.

Despite the great advancement in atroposelective synthesis in the past decades, the enantioselective synthesis of 2,2'-difluoro-1-biaryls is unprecedented. Herein, a palladium and chiral amino acid catalyzed atroposelective C-H olefination to construct the axially chiral 2,2'-difluoro-1-biaryls is reported. A variety of polyfluoro-substituted biaryls were forged under mild conditions in good yields with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee).
