Abstract
Construction of axially chiral 1-azafluorenes via nickel-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition of alkynes and (o-alkynyl)benzyl nitriles is described. This strategy enables enantioselective discrimination of two sterically similar ortho substituents, such as H and F, during the construction of tri-ortho-substituted biaryl atropisomers. Mechanistic studies including the stereochemistry model and the stability of the atropenantiomers toward racemization are provided. The unique steric hindrance provided by 1-azafluorene skeleton and the fine chiral cavity of the nickel catalyst are key to achieving high enantioselectivity.
