7. Asymmetric syntheses of atropisomeric anilides through enantiotopic selective deprotonation with a stoichiometric chiral base have been reported by two groups. However, Uemura's method (ref 3a) cannot be applied to the synthesis of ortho-mono-tert-butylanilide, which can effectively work as a chiral molecule. On the other hand, in Simpkins' method (ref 3b), improvement of the chemical yield (40-56%) and application to other substrates except for N-ortho-tert-butylphenyl maleimide are problems for future study, (a) Hata, T.; Koide, H.; Taniguchi, N.; Uemura, M.

11. Kinetic resolution of racemic dibromoparacyclophane through PHANEPHOS-Pd-calalyzed amination has been reported (only one example), while to the best of our knowledge, there has been no paper in relalion to catalytic asymmetric aromatic amination with achiral substrates.
