An efficient and straightforward approach for the synthesis of C7 site-selective BINOL derivatives has been achieved via cost-effective Co(III)-catalyzed C–H cascade alkenylation/intramolecular Friedel–Crafts alkylation of BINOL units and propargyl cycloalkanols. Under the advantage of the pyrazole directing group, the protocol allows the rapid synthesis of various BINOL-tethered spiro[cyclobutane-1,1′-indenes].
