Abstract

Novel chiral binaphtyl surrogates with an inner hydrogen bond have been created. The N—H appears at 13.0−13.3 ppm in thier 1H NMR spectrum, indicating extremely strong hydrogen bonding. Enantiomers of these compounds were stable at ambient temperature and separable by HPLC with a chiral stationary phase. The half-lives of racemization of the enantiomer are in the range 3 months to 2 years at 20 °C, and the barriers for racemization are in the range 27.0 to 28.2 kcal/mol. An X-ray crystal analysis of the compound (R = CHPh2) shows that the pseudonaphthyl skeleton including C═N···H—N is almost completely planar and the dihedral angle between the pseudonaphthalene and naphthalene rings is 128°.
