The axially chiral 2-substituted N,N-diisoproyl-1-1-naphthamides 1 and 2 we
re resolved by HPLC over a chiral stationary phase to provide enantiomerica
lly pure atropisomers. The absolute stereochemistry of was determined by X-
ray crystallographic analysis of the corresponding (1S)-camphanic acid deri
vative. Desymmetrization of cyclic meso anhydrides 5a and 5b using (-)-syn-
1 gave a single diastercomer in good yield. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
