Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

In conclusion, our work demonstrates that chiral cationic phosphonites derived from TADDOL and BINOL are excellent ancillary ligands for the Au-catalysed enantioselective assembly of [4]- and [5]helicenes, and the highly atroposelective synthesis of 1,1’-binaphthalene-2,3’-diols. The common step of all these processes is an intramolecular hydroarylation reaction, which takes place with high enantioselectivity by the use of our ligands. We anticipate that other hydroarylation processes, for example those leading to the synthesis of heterohelicenes or other chiral polyaromatic molecules might also benefit from the ligands already available. On the other hand, the employment of α-cationic phosphines beyond π-acid catalysis is still very limited. We have recently been able to dimerize norbornadiene into 2 3,13 4,11 5,9 10,14 heptacyclo[6.6.0.0 ,6.0 .0 .0 .0 ] tetradecane employing a Rh-complex that contains a dicationic phosphine ligand; however, more transformations need to be explored to verify whether they can benefit from the use of cationic ligands. We look forward to address these two topics in the near future.
