Abstract

Abstract Image

A novel alicyclic chiral C2-symmetric piperazine, (S,S)-7, is designed and synthesized from l-proline. Benzoylation of a series of cyclic and acyclic meso-1,2-diols with a catalytic amount of (S,S)-7 and CuCl2 provided optically active monobenzoates with high enantioselectivity.
