ABSTRACT
Bridged chiral biaryls are axially chiral compounds with a medium-sized ring connecting the two arenes. Compared with plentiful methods for the enantioselective synthesis of biaryl compounds, synthetic approaches for this subclass of bridged atropisomers are limited. Here we show an atroposelective synthesis of 1,3-diaxial bridged eight-membered terphenyl atropisomers through an Co/SPDO (spirocyclic pyrrolidine oxazoline)-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling/desymmetrization reaction of prochiral phenols. This catalytic desymmetric process is enabled by combination of an earth-abundant Co(OAc)2 and a unique SPDO ligand in the presence of DABCO (1,4-diaza[2.2.2]bicyclooctane). An array of diaxial bridged terphenyls embedded in an azocane can be accessed in high yields (up to 99%) with excellent enantio- (>99% ee) and diastereoselectivities (>201 dr).
