Participants

Reaction Steps

9.99 g (20.8 mmol) of (+)-2-cyano-2′-diphenylphosphinyl-1,1′-binaphthyl (the formula (4a)), synthesized according to the known method (Tetrahedron 50, 4293, (1994)), was weighed and added into a four neck flask, which was equipped with a thermometer, a cooling tube and a dropping funnel with an equalizer. 100 ml of Dimethylsulfoxide was added into the flask. 50 ml of 30 percent aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide was added at 0° C. followed by the addition of potassium carbonate (57.6 g) and sonication for 25 minutes. Thereafter, 43 ml of water was added and 43 ml of dimethylsulfoxide was then added, followed by sonication to the resultant mixture for 30 minutes, which was then stirred for 15 hours. The resultant mixture was extracted with 300 ml of ethyl acetate, and the extract was washed with 100 ml of saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride and 200 ml of brine, and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under a reduced pressure and the residue was purified using a silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate) to obtain 10.2 gram of the titled compound.
