Abstract

A rhodium(I)-xylyl-BINAP catalyzed asymmetric [2+2+2] cycloaddition of achiral conjugated aryl ynamides with various diynes is described here. This asymmetric cycloaddition provides a series of structurally interesting chiral N,O-biaryls with excellent enantioselectivity along with a modest diastereoselectivity with respect to both C–C and C–N axial chirality.
