To develop a direct, catalytic method for the enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral biaryl compounds from racemic substrates.
Applied a tripeptide-derived small-molecule catalyst to perform dynamic kinetic resolution on racemic biaryl compounds.
Conducted an atropisomer-selective electrophilic aromatic substitution utilizing simple brominating reagents.
Produced chiral nonracemic biaryl compounds with optical purity exceeding a 95:5 enantiomer ratio in most substrates.
Obtained isolated chemical yields ranging from 65% to 87%.
Formulated a mechanistic model accounting for the observed stereochemical selectivity during bromination.
