Tanaka, Ken; Nishida, Goushi; Ogino, Masakazu; Hirano, Masao; Noguchi, Keiichi published the artcile< Enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral biaryls through rhodium-catalyzed complete intermolecular cross-cyclotrimerization of internal alkynes>, Electric Literature of 139139-93-8, the main research area is alkyne acetylenedicarboxylate cross cyclotrimerization rhodium BINAP; biaryl asym preparation; benzenetetracarboxylate preparation.
A cationic rhodium(I)/H8-BINAP complex-catalyzed complete intermol. cross-cyclotrimerization of internal alkynes with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates was developed. This reaction was successfully applied to enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral biaryls, e.g., I, utilizing internal alkynes bearing ortho-substituted Ph and acetoxymethyl in each terminal position. The axial chirality was constructed at the formation of benzene rings with high enantioselectivity.
