ketone, in up to 93 % ee (ee=enantiomeric excess), as well as for the asymmetricFriedel-Craftsamination of a variety of 2-naphthols, permitting the preparation of the latter in up to 98 % ee. The aminated 8-amino-2-naphthol itself is the first chiral organocatalyst based on non-biarylatropisomerism. The two enantiomers of this chiral primary amine can be used for the direct alpha-fluorination of alpha-branched
