Inherently chiral calixarenes by a catalytic enantioselective desymmetrizing cross-dehydrogenative coupling
Literature Information
Xin Zhang, Shuo Tong, Jieping Zhu, Mei-Xiang Wang
Under the catalysis of PdBr2 and a chiral phosphoramidite ligand, the upper-rim mono (2-bromoaroyl)-substituted calix[4]arene derivatives underwent a facile enantioselective desymmetrization reaction to afford 9H-fluorene-embedded inherently chiral calixarenes in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The transannular dehydrogenative arene–arene coupling reaction proceeded most probably through an oxidative addition of the Caryl–Br bond to a ligated palladium catalyst followed by a sequence of an enantioselective 1,5-palladium migration and an intramolecular C–H arylation sequence. This new family of inherently chiral calixarenes possesses unique chiroptical properties thanks to their highly rigid structure induced by the 9H-fluorene segment.

Chemical Science

Our journal has a wide-ranging scope which covers the full breadth of the chemical sciences. The research we publish contains the sorts of novel ideas, challenging questions and progressive thinking that bring undiscovered breakthroughs within reach. Your paper could focus on a single area, or cross many. It could be beyond the accepted bounds of the chemical sciences. It might address an immediate challenge, contribute to a future breakthrough or be wholly conceptual. We’re a team from every field of the chemical sciences, and know from experience that breakthroughs that drive the solutions to global challenges can come from anywhere, at any time. You could even start an entirely new area of research. Too bold? Too progressive? No such thing
