Abstract

Molecular scaffolds with multiple rotationally restricted bonds allow a precise spatial positioning of functional groups. However, their synthesis requires methods addressing the configuration of each stereogenic axis. We report here a catalyst-stereocontrolled synthesis of atropisomeric multiaxis systems enabling divergence from the prevailing stereochemical reaction path. By using ion-pairing catalysts in arene-forming aldol condensations, a strong substrate-induced stereopreference can be overcome to provide structurally well-defined helical oligo-1,2-naphthylenes. The configuration of up to four stereogenic axes was individually catalyst-controlled, affording quinquenaphthalenes with a unique topology.
