(R)-3,3′-Di-tert-butyl-5,5′,6,6′-tetramethylbiphenyl-2,2′-diol(cas: 329735-68-4) belongs to phenols. Phenols are more acidic than typical alcohols.Name: (R)-3,3′-Di-tert-butyl-5,5′,6,6′-tetramethylbiphenyl-2,2′-diol The acidity of the hydroxyl group in phenols is commonly intermediate between that of aliphatic alcohols and carboxylic acids (their pKa is usually between 10 and 12).

Enantioselective desymmetrization of Cs-sym. (η5-2,5-dialkenylphospholyl)(allyldiphenylphosphine)manganese(I) dicarbonyl complexes 1 was realized by Mo-catalyzed asym. ring-closing metathesis (ARCM), and the corresponding bridged planar-chiral phosphacymantrene derivatives 2 were obtained in good yields with excellent enantioselectivity. The enantioselectivity of the ARCM reaction was strongly influenced by the structures of the phospholyl-bound alkenyl groups, and the highest enantioselectivity of up to 99% ee was achieved in the reaction of 1d,e, which possess the 2-methylpropenyl substituents at the 2- and 5-positions of the η5-phospholides. Single-enantiomeric planar-chiral 2d, which was obtained by the recrystallization of the highly enantiomerically enriched ARCM product, can serve as a chiral ligand for the Pd-catalyzed asym. allylic alkylation to show good enantioselectivity in up to 74% ee. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of (R)-3,3′-Di-tert-butyl-5,5′,6,6′-tetramethylbiphenyl-2,2′-diol(cas: 329735-68-4Name: (R)-3,3′-Di-tert-butyl-5,5′,6,6′-tetramethylbiphenyl-2,2′-diol)
