Abstract

A new family of axially chiral iodoarenes derived from commercially available (R)-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diamine have been synthesized and employed as catalysts in Kita’s enantioselective oxidative spirolactonization of propanoic acid tethered 1-naphthol. Through this study, we explored the relationship between the hypervalent iodoarene geometry and enantioselectivity, contributing to the current understanding of axial-to-central chirality transfer in organoiodine(III) catalysis.
