AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method for producing (R)-H 4-BINOL, which is important for asymmetric catalysis, is presented.
  • The process effectively scales to produce larger amounts (gram scale) of this compound.
  • The main breakthrough involves partially hydrogenating (R)-BINOL after first modifying it through a bis-etherification step.

Article Abstract

A method amenable to the gram scale synthesis of (R)-H 4-BINOL, a derivative of (R)-BINOL and ligand of interest in asymmetric catalysis, is described. The key step is the net partial hydrogenation of (R)-BINOL made possible by prior bis-etherification of the parent BINOL.
