Reactions
1. Ligand (enantiopure version) used to prepare a chiral zirconium catalyst useful in asymmetric Strecker and Mannich-type reactions.
2. Ligand (enantiopure version) used for titanium-catalyzed enantioselective Friedel-Crafts reactions.
General Description
6,6′-Dibromo-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol is a 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol derivative. Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) spectra for the enantiomers of 6,6′-dibromo-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol have been evaluated.
