T. Mecca et al., 1,1 '-binaphthylazepine-based ligands for asymmetric catalysis. Part 1: Preparation and characterization of some new aminoalcohols and diamines, TETRAHEDR-A, 12(8), 2001, pp. 1225-1233
Starting from (S)-1.1 ' -binaphthol, a series of ten novel enantiopure 1.1
' -binaphthylazepine-based aminoalcohols and diamines 1a-1j were efficientl
y prepared and fully characterized. These derivatives, having either only a
n atropisomeric bridged-binaphthyl backbone or an additional stereogenic ca
rbon center, can be interesting ligands for asymmetric catalysis. (C) 2001
