title: Organocatalytic enantioselective Friedel-crafts reactions of 1-naphthols with aldimines.
abstract: An organocatalytic enantioselective Friedel-Crafts reaction of 1-naphthols with aldimines has been developed. The method affords a direct access to chiral aminoarylnaphthols in good yields and with good to high enantioselectivities.
