“…A catalyst evaluation showed popular IDPi's to provide insufficient enantioselectivities while our sterically bulky IDPi provided encouraging results (Table 1 entries 1−10). In more detail, catalyst structures 2b, 17,25 2c, 16 2d, 18,26 2e, 27 2g, 28 2h, 29 2i, 29 2j 28b have all proved to be valuable in generating a diverse range of chiral compounds with high-levels of stereoselectivity. Ultimately, most of these catalysts has been confirmed to be optimal for at least one reaction type rendering these structures as important benchmarks for evaluating 2a in this reaction.…”

The development of BINOL-derived Brønsted acid catalysts has been profoundly guided by rational design, with carefully implemented structural changes leading to generations of catalysts with enhanced reaction capabilities. This approach to catalyst optimization has promoted the integration of knowledge gathered in optimizing prior eras of Brønsted acids, and ultimately, the molecular features that have contributed to the success of previous designs are preserved. Of these, the large substituents at the 3 and 3′ positions of the BINOL backbone are the most critical with almost every developed structure possessing this feature. However, imidodiphosphorimidate (IDPi) catalysts are not synthetically well-suited to contain the same sterically bulky groups associated with the high selectivity imparted by previously implemented catalyst structures. Herein, we have leveraged the moderate size of the 9-phenanthryl substituent to synthesize an IDPi with sizable steric demands. The applicability of the catalyst was evaluated in the construction of stereochemically dense spirocycles generated via an asymmetric Prins-semipinacol reaction sequence. Transition state calculations were deployed to interrogate the origins of the high enantioselectivity, and these demonstrate the mechanistic hallmarks of the 9-phenanthryl substituent can be generalized to a genuinely different class of Brønsted acid catalyst. Ultimately, this work provides the basis for the development of general catalyst design principles and the translation of "privileged" substituents across prior eras of Brønsted acid catalysts structures.
