(R)-BINOL

Chiral Catalysts, Ligands, Reagents, Privileged Ligands and Complexes, Asymmetric Synthesis, Chemical Synthesis, and BINOL's

(R)-BINOL is a versatile chiral reagent having several applications such as

1) Catalytic asymmetric oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides

2) Chiral lanthanide triflates formed from R-BINOL can catalyze asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions

3) Chiral derivatives of (R)-BINOL have been used to catalyze asymmetric Claisen rearrangements and asymmetric epoxidation reactions

4) Chiral reduction of ketones can be catalyzed by the lithium aluminum hydride derivative of BINOL (BINAP-H)

5) (R)-BINOL is a chiral binapthol imminium salt precursor. The salts find further application as catalysts in asymmetric epoxidation of olefins

6) Precursor for several important chiral ligands, e.g. BINAP
