Synthesis of Axially Chiral Biaryls by Atropo-Diastereoselective Cleavage of Configurationally Unstable Biaryl Lactones with Menthol-DerivedO-Nucleophiles
Configurationally unstable lactone-bridged biaryls 4 are cleaved atropo-diastereoselectively using chiral menthol-derived alkali metal alkoxides, to give axially chiral biaryl esters of type 5 in high yields and excellent diastereomeric ratios of up to > 99:1. The method permits the optional preparation of each of the two atropisomers from the same lactone precursor (“atropo-divergence”), simply according
