Highly chemo‐ and enantioselective inter‐ and intra‐molecular oxidative dearomatizing spirocyclization of 1‐alkyl‐2‐naphthols with O₂ as the hydrogen acceptor was achieved using an iron catalyst. In the iron complex 1‐catalyzed reaction, 1‐methyl‐2‐naphthols 2 in the presence of phenol derivatives as the nucleophile was selectively oxidized, producing the spirocyclic ketones with good to high enantioselectivities via a tandem strategy. Pre‐synthesized 1,1′‐methylbis(arenol)s 6 and 7, intermediates of the tandem strategy were also converted to the desired products with chemo‐ and enantioselectivity.

铁催化2-萘酚的不对称分子间和分子内好氧氧化脱芳香化螺旋环化

使用铁催化剂，以O ₂为氢受体，高度化学和对映选择性分子间和分子内氧化脱芳香化螺环化了1烷基-2-萘酚。在铁络合物1催化的反应中，在苯酚衍生物作为亲核试剂的存在下，1-甲基-2-萘2被选择性地氧化，通过串联策略产生具有良好至高对映选择性的螺环酮。预先串联的1,1'-甲基双（芳烯醇）6和7中间体，也已通过化学和对映体选择性转化为所需的产物。
