We report herein a point-to-axial chirality transfer reaction of optical dihydrophenanthrene-9,10-diols for the synthesis of axially chiral diketones. Two sets of conditions, namely a basic <i>t</i>BuOK/air atmosphere and an acidic NaClO/<i>n</i>-Bu<sub>4</sub>NHSO<sub>4</sub>, were developed to oxidatively cleave the C-C bond, resulting in the formation of axially chiral biaryl diketones. Finally, brief synthetic applications of the obtained chiral aryl diketones were demonstrated. ...[more]
