D. Nanni et Dp. Curran, SYNTHESIS AND SOME REACTIONS OF THE FIRST CHIRAL TIN HYDRIDE CONTAINING A C-2-SYMMETRICAL BINAPHTHYL SUBSTITUENT, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 7(8), 1996, pp. 2417-2422
Starting from pure (S)-2,2'-bis(bromomethyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl, the synt
hesis of a new chiral, enantiomerically pure dinaphthostannepin is des
cribed. Preliminary reactions of this hydride with a racemic organic h
alide under radical conditions gave the reduced product in up to 41% e
nantiomeric excess, depending on the experimental conditions. Copyrigh
