Abstract

An investigation into the N-acylation of atropisomeric anilines 8 and 2, which are related to NOBIN (1), catalysed by small molecule chiral pyridine-based nucleophilic catalysts is described. The first organocatalytic kinetic resolution (KR) of an atropisomeric aniline is described.

Keywords: Kinetic resolution; Atropisomerism; Asymmetric synthesis; Organocatalysis.
