title: Chiral aryl iodide catalysts for the enantioselective synthesis of para-quinols.
abstract: Molecular modelling of an iodine(III) phenoxide was used as a starting point in the design of chiral aryl iodide catalysts for stereoselective oxidative dearomatization reactions. Using this approach, catalysts derived from 8-iodotetralone and tartaric acid were constructed and used to synthesize enantioenriched para-quinols from phenols.
