Biaryls and their heteroaromatic analogues are some of the most attractive structural units in 
natural products, bioactive compounds, photonic materials, functional polymers, theoretically 
interesting molecules, 1 liquid crystals, 2 chiral host molecules for inclusion compounds, and 
chirality-recognition reagents for chromatography. 3 When substituted at the ortho and ortho 
positions, they form atropisomers and are therefore employed as chiral ligands for 
asymmetric syntheses. 4 Because of their prevalent applications, the development of ...
