Abstract
Homochiral 2,2'-bis[4-(alkyl)oxazol-2-yl]-1,1'-binaphthyls, which poss ess both binaphthyl axial chirality and carbon centred chirality, were prepared from 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-dicarboxylic acid and 2-alkyl-2-am inoethanols in high yields. Asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene wit h diazoacetates in the presence of 2 mol % of copper(I) triflate and 2 '-bis[(S)-4-(t-butyl)oxazol-2-yl]-1,1'-binaphthyl gave optically activ e 2-(phenyl)cyclopropane-carboxylates of up to 97% ee.
