1-Naphthol → 1-(1-Naphthyl)-2-naphthol

Participants

Reaction Steps

On the other hand, 2.7 g of (+)-binaphthol (VII) ([α]D20, +21.0° (C=0.55, tetrahydrofuran)) which was obtained by silica gel chromatography of the filtrate obtained when the clathrate compound was separated and 2.19 g of (-)-(S,S)-tartaric acid diamide (X) were dissolved in the above-described mixed solvent, and thus-obtained solution was allowed to stand for 12 hours at room temperature. The crystallized crystal was recrystallized once to obtain 2.70 g of a clathrate compound (colorless prismatic crystal: mp, 150-151° C.; [α]D20, -43.9° (CHCl3)) containing (-)-tartaric acid diamide (X) and (+)-naphthol (XI) in a ratio of 1 : 1. The obtained crystal was subjected to column chromatography to obtain 1.48 g of (+)-binaphthol (VII) ([α]D20, +36.5° (C=1.3, tetrahydrofuran)).
