Abstract:
A versatile kinetic resolution of protecting-group-free BINAMs and NOBINs has been realized through chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed triazane formation with azodicarboxylates. A series of mono-N-protected and unprotected BINAMs, diphenyl diamines and NOBIN derivatives could be kinetically resolved with excellent performances (with s factor up to 420). The gram-scale reactions and facile derivatizations of the chiral products demonstrate the potential of these methods in the asymmetric synthesis of chiral catalysts and ligands.

SN1 Reaction: Stereochemistry
In the first step of an SN1 reaction, the bond between the electrophilic carbon and the leaving group ionizes to generate the carbocation intermediate. The second step of the mechanism is the nucleophilic attack.
In the formed carbocation, the positively charged carbon is sp2 hybridized with a trigonal planar geometry. As all the three substituents lie on the same plane, a plane of symmetry for the...
