journal contribution
posted on 2007-03-01, 00:00 authored by Yongxiang Liu, Kui Lu, Mingji Dai, Kai Wang, Wanqing Wu, Jiahua Chen, Junmin Quan, Zhen YangA single-step chirality transfer method for the synthesis of axially chiral biaryl compounds by construction of the second aromatic ring via
a Diels−Alder/retro-Diels−Alder cascade reaction is reported. This methodology should find broad application in the synthesis of natural
products and asymmetric catalysts.
