Novel axially chiral ligands such as I [R = H, 1-naphthyl, 9-anthryl, etc.] were designed and synthesized by merging the chelating picolinic acid with substituted BINOLs. The in-situ-prepared copper catalysts from the ligands and CuI enable the asym. oxidative coupling of 2-naphthols, affording 6,6′-disubstituted BINOLs such as II [R1 = H, i-Pr, Ph, etc.] in up to 89% yield with good enantioselectivities (up to 96:4 e.r.). This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as (R)-[1,3′:1′,1”:3”,1”’-Quaternaphthalene]-2′,2”-diol (cas: 851615-07-1Computed Properties of C40H26O2).
(R)-[1,3′:1′,1”:3”,1”’-Quaternaphthalene]-2′,2”-diol (cas: 851615-07-1) belongs to alcohols. Similar to water, an alcohol can be pictured as having an sp3 hybridized tetrahedral oxygen atom with nonbonding pairs of electrons occupying two of the four sp3 hybrid orbitals. Secondary alcohols are easily oxidized without breaking carbon-carbon bonds only as far as the ketone stage. No further oxidation is seen except under very stringent conditions.Computed Properties of C40H26O2
