M. Smrcina et al., SYNTHESIS AND RESOLUTION OF RACEMIC 2-AMINO-2'-HYDROXY-1,1'-BINAPHTHYL, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 61(10), 1996, pp. 1520-1524
The title compound 3 has been prepared via a highly selective, Cu(II)-
mediated cross-coupling of 2-aminonaphthalene 1 and 2-naphthol 2 and r
esolved into enantiomers via crystallization of diastereoisomeric salt
s with (1S)-(+)-10-camphorsulfonic acid. The method has been optimized
and the use of chromatography eliminated.
