Abstract

We herein present the first synthesis of 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-bis(sulfuryl)imides (JINGLEs). This new class of chiral Brønsted acids was synthesized in one step from the corresponding BINOLs and imidobis(sulfuryl chloride). A total of six enantiopure 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-bis(sulfuryl)imides, carrying different 3,3′-substituents, were synthesized and characterized, inter alia, by X-ray crystallography.
