A class of novel BINOL-containing tropanes was accessible by treating enantiopure (6S)-configuredtropinone acetals 5a and 8 with chlorophosphites 7. When applied to Cu-catalyzed 1,4-additions ofdialkylzinc to cyclic and acyclic enones 14 and 16, the bidentate phosphoramidite (S,S)-9a bearing two(S)-binaphthol units worked selectively in most cases (up to 90% ee). (S,S)-9a was also superior to theother ligands in Rh-mediated hydrogenations of dimethyl itaconate 18 and methyl acetamidocinnamate20 (85% ee and 95% ee). In both reactions, a matched/mismatched case was observed for (S,S)-9a andits congener (R,R)-9a.
