Consecutive chirality transfer: efficient synthesis of chiral C,O-chelated BINOL/gold(iii) complexes for asymmetric catalysis and chiral resolution of disubstituted BINOLs.

ABSTRACT: A novel approach for efficient synthesis of chiral C,O-chelated BINOL/gold(iii) complexes by diastereomeric resolution using enantiopure BINOL as a chiral resolving agent was demonstrated. The BINOL/gold(iii) diastereomers with different solubility were separated by simple filtration, providing optically pure BINOL/gold(iii) complexes with up to >99 : 1 dr. By combining this with an efficient BINOL ligand dissociation process, a simple and column-free method for chiral resolution of racemic gold(iii) dichloride complexes on a gram scale was established, affording their enantiopure forms in good yields. Conversely, the resolved enantiopure gold(iii) dichloride complexes could serve as chiral resolving agents to resolve disubstituted BINOL derivatives, achieving both BINOLs and gold(iii) com
