NOBINs and other axially chiral entities have received a great deal of interest in recent years. Here, the authors report the kinetic resolution of racemic amino phenols and the enantioselective preparation of axially chiral N-aryl sulfonamides with excellent level of enantiopurity and broad substrate scope.
