Abstract
Novel optically active hypervalent iodine(V) reagents with planar chiral crown ether backbones were synthesized using the intramolecular Huisgen reaction as a key step and l-methyl lactate as the source of chirality. The relative configurations of these reagents and stabilities of planar chiralities were determined by DFT calculations. These planar chiral reagents were applied to the hydroxylative dearomatization/[4 + 2]-dimerization reactions of phenols to afford bisthymol and biscarvacrol, a natural product, with moderate enantioselectivities.
