An iron‐catalyzed asymmetric oxidative homo‐coupling of 2‐naphthols for the synthesis of 1,1′‐Bi‐2‐naphthol (BINOL) derivatives is reported. The coupling reaction provides enantioenriched BINOLs in good yields (up to 99%) and moderate enantioselectivities (up to 81:19 er) using an iron‐complex generated in situ from Fe(ClO4)2 and a bisquinolyldiamine ligand [(1R,2R)‐N1,N2‐di(quinolin‐8‐yl)cyclohexane‐1,2‐diamine, L1]. A number of ligands (L2–L8) and the analogs of L1, with various substituents and chiral backbones, were synthesized and examined in the oxidative coupling reactions.

A benzothiophene S-oxide catalyst, generated in situ by sulfur oxidation with H2O2, mediates the oxidative coupling of 2-naphthols. Key to the catalytic process is the capture and inversion of reactivity of a 2-naphthol partner, using an interrupted Pummerer reaction of an unusual benzothiophene S-oxide, followed by subsequent coupling with a second partner. The new catalytic manifold has been showcased in the synthesis of the bioactive natural products, (±)-nigerone and (±)-isonigerone. Although Pummerer reactions are used widely, their application in catalysis is rare, and our approach represents a new catalytic manifold for metal-free C?C bond formation.

A series of five benzannelated derivatives of 2-phenylphenol were prepared, and their photochemistry was investigated. Two of these (3-phenyl-2-naphthol, 10, and 1-phenyl-2-naphthol, 11) were photoinert. For 2-(1-naphthyl)phenol (12) and 1-(1-naphthyl)-2-naphthol (13), ESPT took place to either the 2′-position or the 7′-position of the naphthalene ring to give quinone methides (QMs) that underwent either reverse proton transfer (RPT) or electrocyclic ring closure to give dihydrobenzoxanthenes. The intermediate QMs for 12 and 13 were detected and characterized by laser flash photolysis. For 2-(9-phenanthryl)phenol (14), ESPT took place either to the 5′-position to give a QM that underwent quantitative electrocyclic ring closure to give the corresponding benzoxanthene or to the 10′-position to give a QM that underwent RPT. If the solution contained methanol, the QM produced on ESPT to the 10′-position in 14 could be trapped as the photoaddition product. The compounds studied in this work demonstrate three possible reactions of QMs produced following ESPT to aromatic carbon atoms: (1) reverse proton transfer (RPT) to regenerate starting material; (2) addition of hydroxylic solvents to give the photoaddition product; and (3) electrocyclic ring closure to give benzoxanthene derivatives.
