Abstract

Abstract Image

The oxidative homocoupling of optically active binaphthalenes 1ad with a stoichiometric amount of CuCl2 and amines afforded quaternaphthalenes 2ad in up to 93% de. The high diastereoselectivities were achieved through three different pathways (epimerization of the axis together with diastereoselective crystallization, thermodynamic, and kinetic control pathways). The type of side chains on the naphthalene influenced which pathway dominates. Three pathways were applicable to octinaphthalenes (8ad) and hexadecanaphthalene 10a with 46−99% de. The absolute configuration of the newly formed axial bond was determined by (1) X-ray crystallographic analysis, (2) transformation to known compounds 15 and 16, (3) CD spectra of oligonaphthalenes with two pyrene rings as exciton parts, and (4) the shift values in 13C NMR spectra of 13C-enriched derivatives 2931 toward chiral shift reagent Eu(+tfc)3.
