BINOL and H8-BINOL-based phosphoric acids, but with
enhanced catalytic activity. The larger torsion angle and
stronger acidity associated with 5,5′-bitetralone-based phos-
phoric acid could provide additional opportunities for
asymmetric transformations. Furthermore, the 5,5′-bitetralone
scaffold provides a novel chiral framework for the development
of new chiral ligands and catalysts. All these studies are
currently underway.
