Two new efficient preparations of enantiopure 2,2′-dihydroxy-6,6′-dimethoxy-1,1′-biphenyl
摘要:
Two new useful methods for the preparation of diol 1 starting from available compounds are described. Separation of the two enantiomers entails resolution of racemic diol 1 via the corresponding diastereomeric N-methylated phosphorothioamidates. Their separation by recrystallization followed by reduction afforded diol (aS)-1 and (aR)-1 in 100% and 72% ee, respectively. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
Preparation and resolution of 2,2′-dimercapto-6,6′-dimethoxy-1,1′-biphenyl: a C2-symmetric sulfur building block
摘要:
The preparation of the title dimercaptan 1 starting from 2,2'-dihydroxy-6,6'-dimethoxy-1,1'-biphenyl 2 is described, Resolution of dimercaptan 1 was performed using (-)-(1R,2S,5R)-menthyl chloroformate as a chiral resolving agent. The procedure affords dimercaptan (+)-1 and (-)-1 in 98% ee and 93% ee, respectively. A new and direct intermolecular Ullmann coupling resulting in an improved preparation of diol 2 is also reported.

The reaction of phthalimidesulfenyl chloride with 2,2′,6,6′-hydroxylated biphenyls allowed the preparation of 3- and/or 3,3′-N-thiophthalimide derivatives which can be easily transformed into the corresponding thiols and/or disulfides. Mono- or bis-substitution, as well as the regiochemistry of the sulfenylation, are predictable as a function of the substituents on the biphenyl unit and the length
