Abstract
AbstractAxially chiral diaryl ethers, a distinguished class of atropisomers possessing unique dual C−O axis, hold immense potential for diverse research domains. In contrast to the catalytic enantioselective synthesis of conventional single axis bearing atropisomers, the atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral ethers containing flexible C−O axis remains a significant challenge. Herein, we demonstrate the first N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)‐catalyzed synthesis of axially chiral diaryl ethers via atroposelective esterification of dialdehyde‐containing diaryl ethers. Mechanistically, the reaction proceeds via NHC‐catalyzed desymmetrization strategy to afford the corresponding axially chiral diaryl ether atropisomers in good yields and high enantioselectivities under mild conditions. The derivatization of the synthesized product expands the utility of present strategy via access to a library of C−O axially chiral compounds. The temperature dependency and preliminary investigations on the racemization barrier of C−O bonds are also presented.
