Abstract

1-(α-Pyrrolidinylbenzyl)-2-naphthol 2 is easily prepared in 95% yield using benzaldehyde, 2-naphthol and pyrrolidine in ethanol at 78°C. It is resolved using inexpensive l-(+)-tartaric acid to obtain non-racemic samples that can be readily purified to enantiomeric purity through preparation of hydrogen bonded aggregates. The homochiral 1-(α-pyrrolidinylbenzyl)-2-naphthol 2 is useful in the resolution of racemic 2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl (BINOL) 3 via preparation of the corresponding diastereomeric borate complexes using B(OH)3.
