Abstract
Kinetic resolution of the racemic title compound was shown to take place during its methylation with either (Me2AlOCH2CH2OMe)2 or Me2Al(CH2)3NMe2 in the presence of an optically active Pd(binap) catalyst, as well as during its alkylation with either (S)-(+)- [Me2AlOCH2CH(Me)OCH2Ph]2 or (S)-(+)-[Me2AlOCH2CH(CH2CHMe2)NMe2]2 in the presence of an achiral palladium complex. The ee values of the resolved binaphthyl derivatives by the two methods were up to 69 and 12%, respectively. The latter method represents the first application of a stabilized dialkylaluminum complex with a chiral chelating ligand for asymmetric induction.
