Phenols with alternative substitutions patterns were then examined as nucleophiles. Products 8 and 9 bearing only metasubstituents were obtained in 98% and 76% yield, and 98:2 e.r. and 96:4 e.r., respectively (the corresponding 2-nitro-6-methylphenol analog of 9 was obtained in only 47% yield and 59.5:40.5 e.r. when using our previous method). As with our previously described method, ortho-substituted phenols could also be employed, with the derived products (10-12) being obtained in high yield and good enantioselectivity. Naphthols could also be employed as nucleophiles (13-14), noticeably 14 was obtained in 64% yield and 98:2 e.r. representing a drastic improvement compared to our first-generation method where less than 10% conversion to product was observed.
