Significance
A highly efficient and enantioselective cinchona-alkaloid organocatalyzed asymmetric Friedel-Crafts amination of 2-naphthols is described. In this reaction different 2-hydroxy-8-amino naphthols 1 react with azodicarboxylate 2 in the presence of a cinchona alkaloid catalyst to form a novel class of non-biaryl atropisomers 4. Using the aminated cinchona alkaloid 3 as catalyst the reaction proceeds with high to excellent yields and excellent enantioselectivities. The formed non-biaryl atropisomers 4 can be further elaborated to new chiral molecules.
