Abstract

New racemic vicinal amino alcohol derivatives with 4-benzylidenecyclohexane skeleton and axial chirality have been prepared. A preparatively easy and efficient protocol for resolution of the N-benzoylamino alcohol is described. Using a 250 × 20 mm (L × ID) Chiralpak® IA column, and the appropriate mixture of n-hexane/ethanol/chloroform as eluent, both enantiomers of N-benzoylamino alcohol 3 are obtained with >99% enantiomeric excess (ee) by successive injections of a solution of the racemic sample in chloroform. The obtained axially chiral vicinal amino alcohol is used to synthesize structurally novel bisoxazoline ligands in high yields.
