Diversiform Reactivity of Naphthols in Asymmetric Dearomatization or O-Alkylation Reactions with Aziridines

Here, we present a catalytic asymmetric and site-selective reaction of naphthols, realizing diversiform reactions in asymmetric dearomatization or O-alkylation with aziridines, and the reason for the switchable reactivity is formally analyzed with different type of substrates under different conditions.
