M. Cereghetti et al., AN EFFICIENT ACCESS TO (R)-6,6'-DIMETHOXY-2,2'-DIIODO-1,1'-BIPHENYL AND (S)-6,6'-DIMETHOXY-2,2'-DIIODO-1,1'-BIPHENYL, Tetrahedron letters, 37(30), 1996, pp. 5343-5346
In a better procedure than the known for (rac)-2a, the diamine (rac)-2
b was resolved for the first time with the new resolving agent (R,R)-
and (S,S)-2,3-di(phenylaminocarbonyl)tartaric acid (5c) (40-45% weight
yields; >99% ee). The diamines (R)- or (S)-2a and 2b were converted w
ith >98% stereochemical retention into the diiodides (R)- and (S)-3a a
nd 3b and subsequently, without loss of optical purify, diphenylphosph
inated to the known diphosphines (R)- and (S)-4a and 4b. Copyright (C)
