27. Other than us, two groups independently reported cobalt and rhodium complex-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions for the synthesis of an atropoisomeric biaryl with an axial chirality. They used diynes with no substituent on one of two alkyne termini: (a) A. Gutnov, B. Heller, C. Fischer, H.-J. Drexler, A. Spannenberg, B. Sundermann and C. Sundermann, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 2004, 43, 3795;

29. Ee was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a chiral stationary phase column (see supporting informationt). A >99% ee means that the minor enantiomer could not be detected.
30. In each reaction, diastereomers could not be detected during the purification of the products using thin layer chromatography on silica gel or by NMR measurement of cycloadducts 2.
