Brønsted acid-enhanced copper-catalyzed atroposelective cycloisomerization to axially chiral arylquinolizones via dearomatization of pyridine

Methods to assemble axially chiral biaryl molecules with nitrogen-containing heterocycles can have implications in ligand development for homogeneous catalysis. Here the authors report enantioselective syntheses of axially chiral arylquinolizones, via an intramolecular atroposelective cycloisomeriza...
