“…These are also useful starting materials for the synthesis of axially chiral biarylamide- and biarylamine-derived ligands and axially chiral ammonium betaine organocatalysts . Therefore, their asymmetric synthesis has been well investigated to date, and several successful examples have been reported. − As a cross-coupling approach, the diastereoselective nucleophilic aromatic substitution on chiral 1-alkoxy-2-naphtholates with aryl Grignard reagents ,, and the enantioselective Suzuki−Miyaura cross-coupling were reported (Scheme ). As a conceptually different approach, a number of enantioselective ring-opening reactions of biaryl lactones, possessing configurationally unstable biaryl axes, were reported (Scheme ) …”
