Abstract

A simple and reliable protocol for determining the enantiopurity of 3,3′-substituted BINOL- and H8-BINOL-based chiral phosphoric acids (CPA) using 31P NMR spectroscopy in the presence of chiral amines as the discriminating agents is described. The generality of this method is demonstrated using nine common BINOL- and H8-BINOL-based chiral acids. This technique was utilized for monitoring the extent of racemization of 3,5-(F3C)2C6H3-substituted BINOL- and H8-BINOL-based CPA at 200, 220, and 250 °C.

  • 15 General Procedures for the NMR Discrimination Experiments Nonracemic CPA (10 mg) was mixed with discriminating agent (1.5 equiv) in CDCl3 (0.6 mL) in NMR tubes (all CPA was washed with 6 N HCl prior to analysis). The 31P spectrum of the mixture was measured using a Varian VNRMS 700.
