63. Our inability to form the hindered biaryl axis of biaryl (±)-1 by direct coupling previously led us to develop an indirect synthesis that proceeded via two sequential less hindered coupling reactions. See ref 9e.
64. Buchwald's phenanthryl ligand 4 was the only ligand that allowed coupling between bromopyridine 2 and boronic acid 3. See: (a) Yin, J.; Buchwald, S. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 12051-12052; (b) Yin, J.; Rainka, M. P.; Zhang, X.-X.; Buchwald, S. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 1162-1163.

71. The transformation of dihalopyridine 6 into aminopyridines 1 and 7 can be performed as a single step by employing s-BuLi (1.5 equiv) to effect bromine-lithium exchange at -78 °C (30 min), followed by addition of lithium diethylamide (3 equiv), warming to room temperature, and then refluxing for 16 h. However, in our hands this procedure gave a significantly less clean reaction and provided lower yields of the both products following tedious purification.
72. This method of resolving agent selection has been used previously to identify an appropriate chiral amine from a panel of chiral amines for resolution of a racemic carboxylic acid; see: Dyer, U. C.; Henderson, D. A.; Mitchell, M. B. Org. Proc. Res. Devel. 1999, 3, 161-165. This publication also provides a detailed description of the basis of the method and details of the Resolution Companion software package.
73. The fused benzenoid ring takes priority over the 2-phenyl substituent when assigning the naphthyl end of the biaryl axis by Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) priority rules; see: Eliel, E. L.; Wilen, S. H. Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds; Wiley: New York, 1994; p 107.
74. a)-1 displays a negative Cotton-effect peak in its circular dichroism spectrum at 335 nm. The assignment of the absolute configuration oftopologically related atropisomeric catalyst structures is therefore possible by comparison of their Cotton-effect peaks in this region.

79. Interestingly, although many of the catalysts studied by Campbell (e.g. structure VI, Figure 1) are topologically closely related to the catalyst of Fuji (structure IV, Figure 1), H-bonding was postulated to be the dominant mediator of chirality transfer for this series of catalysts and no evidence for π-π stacking was found. See ref 7a.
