An iron-catalyzed asymmetric oxidative homo-coupling of 2-naphthols for the synthesis of 1,1'-Bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) derivatives is reported. The coupling reaction provides enantioenriched BINOLs in good yields (up to 99%) and moderate enantioselectivities (up to 81:19 er) using an iron-complex generated in situ from Fe(ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> and a bisquinolyldiamine ligand [(1<i>R</i>,2<i>R</i>)-<i>N</i><sup>1</sup>,<i>N</i><sup>2</sup>-di(quinolin-8-yl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine, <b>L1</b>]. ...[more]
