Comparison of CD Spectra of (2-Methylphenyl)- and (2,6-Dimethylphenyl)-phenylmethanols Leads to Erroneous Absolute Configurations
摘要:
Enantiopure (2,6-dimethylphenyl)phenylmethanol (+)-(3) and analog (+)-(4) were prepared and their CD spectra were found opposite to that of (2-methylphenyl)phenylmethanol (R)-(-)-(2), the absolute configuration of which was previously established by X-ray crystallography. Therefore the S absolute configuration was once assigned to (+)-3 and (+)-4 . After that we have succeeded in the X-ray analyses of chiral dichlorophthalate esters of (+)-3 and (+)-4 , which clearly indicated R absolute configuration. It is thus evident that comparison of the CD spectra of alcohols 2, 3, and 4 leads to erroneous absolute configurations.

Enantiomerically enriched diarylmethanols have been prepared by catalyzed asymmetric phenyl transfer reactions onto aromatic aldehydes with use of readily available β-hydroxysulfoximines as catalysts. As the aryl source, combinations of diethylzinc with either diphenylzinc or triphenylborane have been applied affording arylphenylmethanols with up to 93% ee in good yields.

as an efficient catalyst precursor for the asymmetric synthesis of diarylmethanol compounds 2 by phenylation of aldehydes. Compared to the corresponding ferrocene derivative, the performance of the cyrhetrene is superior or at least equally as good and gives excellent enantioselectivities even with catalyst loadings as low as 2 mol %.
