Three BINOL-derived phosphoric acids exhibiting atropisomerism in the 3,3′-positions were obtained by Suzuki coupling reaction. The diastereomeric mixture was resolved by HPLC. Structural assignment was achieved by NOE-NMR analysis and by TD-DFT simulation of the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. The three atropisomeric catalysts were tested in three enantioselective reactions, comparing their ability to induce enantioselectivity with related, well-known, phosphoric
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
