New Chiral Shift Reagents, Optically Active 2,2′-Dihydroxy-1,1′-binaphthyl and 1,6-Di(o-chlorophenyl)-1,6-diphenylhexa-2,4-diyne-1,6-diol

Abstract

Abstract The title compounds were found to be useful as a chiral shift reagent in 1H NMR spectroscopy to determine enantiomeric purity of amines, alcohols, sulfoxides, selenoxides, phosphine oxides, phosphinates, and arsenoxides. It is also reported that the induced chemical shift difference increases when the title compound is used together with the typical chiral shift reagent, Eu(hfc)3.
