New chiral atropisomeric biphenyl diols <b>3</b>, <b>4</b> and <b>6</b> containing additional peripheral chiral centers with different steric bulkiness and/or electronic properties were synthesized. The X-ray crystal structure of <b>3</b> shows the formation of a supramolecular structure whereas that of <b>6</b>, containing additional CF<sub>3</sub> substituents, shows the formation of a monomeric structure. Diols <b>1</b>-<b>6</b> were found to be active organocatalysts in oxo-Diels-Alder react ...[more]
