A challenging direct asymmetric catalytic aerobic oxidative cross-coupling of 2-naphthylamine and 2-naphthol, using a novel CuI/SPDO system, has been successfully developed for the first time. Enantioenriched 3,3′-disubstituted NOBINs were achieved and could be readily derived to divergent chiral ligands and catalysts. This reaction features high enantioselectivities (up to 96 % ee) and good yields (up to 80 %). The DFT calculations suggest that the F–H interactions between CF3 of L17 and H-1,8 of 2-naphthol, and the π–π stacking between the two coupling partners could play vital roles in the enantiocontrol of this cross-coupling reaction.

A novel chiral 1,5-N,N-bidentate ligand based on a spirocyclic pyrrolidine oxazoline backbone was designed and prepared, and it coordinates CuBr in situ to form an unprecedented catalyst that enables efficient oxidative cross-coupling of 2-naphthols. Air serves as an external oxidant and generates a series of C1-symmetric chiral BINOL derivatives with high enantioselectivity (up to 99 % ee) and good yield (up to 87 %). This approach is tolerant of a broader substrates scope, particularly substrates bearing various 3- and 3′-substituents. A preliminary investigation using one of the obtained C1-symmetric BINOL products was used as an organocatalyst, exhibiting better enantioselectivity than the previously reported organocatalyst, for the asymmetric α-alkylation of amino esters.
