RESUMO
An efficient synthesis of C2-symmetric chiral binaphthyl ketones 1a and b, effective catalysts for asymmetric epoxidation, is reported. The key features of this synthesis are Co(salen)-catalyzed macrolactonization of racemic 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-dicarboxylic acid monoglycidyl esters 3a and b and lipase-catalyzed enantioselective acylation of resulting 11-membered cyclic binaphthyl alcohols 4a and b.

Sequential etherification of 2,2',6,6'-tetrahydroxybiphenyl (1) with 1,4-di-O-benzyl-L-threitol under Mitsunobu conditions gives desymmetrized biphenyldiol 9 of S-axial chirality exclusively. Cyclization of 9 with 1,omega-dibromoalkanes followed by removal of the chiral auxiliary yields (S)-2,2'-biphenyldiols 14 with alkylenedioxy bridges at the 6 and 6' positions. (S)-6,6'-Dialkyl- and -diphenyldiols 20 are obtained in an efficient manner via Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling of bis(triflate) derivative 17 with organozinc reagents. Bis(triflate) 17 also serves as an intermediate for asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral biphenyldicarboxylic acid 23, terphenylcarboxylic acid 28, lactone 26, and lactam 30.
