The first catalytic enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral N,N-dialkylbenzamides was developed in high yields with outstanding enantiomeric excesses (>99% ee) by aromatization through a cationic rhodium(I)/segphos or binap complex catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddn. of 1,6-diynes with N,N-dialkylalkynylamides.
