14. The diastereotopicity of the o -Me groups is due to their position above the mutually opposed termini of the remote naphthalene group (see the Supporting Information).
15. -3; 697 parameters; two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystallographic data can be obtained free of charge from The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre via www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data-request/ cif.
16. The connectivity of 2a was also confirmed by its independent synthesis from 4,4′-dibromobinaphthalene via Negishi coupling with mesitylzinc chloride (see the Supporting Information).
