Abstract

Abstract: The first synthesis of BINOL‐fused maleimides has been developed. This new chiral scaffold is easily accessible from various BINOL analogues and 2, 3‐dihalomaleimide derivatives under basic conditions. It can be easily functionalized on the BINOL moiety and is an entry towards promising new classes of chiral organocatalysts and ligands.
