Abstract

A direct single-step hydrogenation of BINOL-based chiral phosphoric acids, N-triflyl phosphoramides, and disulfonimides to the corresponding H8-BINOL Brønsted acids in excellent yields and chemoselectivities is described. In addition, the conditions for the single-step oxidation of H8-BINOL-based Brønsted acids into the corresponding BINOL-based acids have been identified and employed to accomplish these interconversions in 41-81% yield.
