Abstract:
A novel optically active binaphthol derivative with which a higher reaction yield and a higher optical yield (selectivity) can be attained in asymmetric synthesis and which is useful as an asymmetric catalyst, etc.; an asymmetric catalyst comprising the derivative; and a method of asymmetric synthesis. The optically active fluorinated binaphthol derivative is represented by formula (I) wherein R1 and R2 each represents a fluorohydrocarbon group.
Abstract:
An asymmetric reaction catalyst is obtained by mixing a pentavalent niobium compound and an optically active triol or tetraol having a binaphthol structure of R or S configuration, and the triol is represented by the following formula:
(wherein, Y is divalent hydrocarbon and R 1 is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a trifluoromethyl group, or an alkyl group or alkoxy group having at most 4 carbons).
Abstract:
An intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of a hydrazone is carried out under a mild condition with a high stereoselectivity and yield by reacting a hydrazone derivative in the presence of an asymmetric catalyst system obtained by mixing a zirconium alkoxide represented by the following formula (I):
Zr(OR) 4 (I)
(wherein R is a hydrocarbon group which may have a substituent) with a binaphthol derivative represented by the following formula (II): (wherein Y 1 and Y 2 are each identical or different and denote a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom, and at least one of Y 1 and Y 2 denotes a halogen atom).
