Organocatalytic atroposelective construction of axially chiral arylquinones
Axially chiral compounds have widespread use in asymmetric catalysis. Here, the authors disclose a highly enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral o-naphthoquinones by chiral phosphoric acid catalysis and central-to-axial chirality conversion.
