A New Chirally Organized Trifluoromethylanthrylmethanol Derivative and Its Application as Chiral Solvating Agent

© 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim The synthesis and structure of 1,1′-(((10,10’-(1,1′-binaphthalene)-2,2′-diylbis(oxy))bis(methylene))bis(anthracene-10,9-diyl))bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethanol), 4, is reported. This compound owns both axial and central chirality allowing its use as a chiral solvating agent (CSA) for the enantiomeric composition determination of several mixtures of chiral aromatic alcohols and amines using NMR. The study of the resulting diastereoisomeric complexes was carried out by determining its stoichiometry and association binding constants.
