Abstract

Planar chiral 5,11-disubstiuted dibenzo[a,e]cyclo-octatetraenes (dbCOTs) have been developed as the first useful chiral homologs to dbCOT-ligands for asymmetric applications. Methods enabling the preparation of such compounds on a gram-scale in enantiomerically pure form are described. Evaluated as ligands in rhodium(I)-catalyzed 1,4- and 1,2-arylation reactions, tertiary and quarternary stereogenic centers were formed with excellent yields and selectivities of up to >99%ee. A catalytic asymmetric synthesis of a key cyclization precursor to (-)-penifulvinA highlights the system in an applied context.
