Synthesis and Optical Resolution of 3,3,3′,3′-Tetramethyl-1,1′-spirobiindane-7,7′-diol

Abstract

A novel chiral C₂-symmetric spiro diol, 3,3,3′,3′-tetramethyl-1,1′-spirobiindane-7,7′-diol (TMSIOL), was conveniently prepared via practical seven-step route from Bisphenol A in 45.1% overall yield. l-Menthyl chloroformate is used as optical resolving agent for the separation of the two enantiomers of TMSIOL.

Key words

asymmetric catalysis - chiral ligand - chiral diol - spirobiindane - resolution
