Abstract
Reductive amination of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, using a combination of NaBH4 and (R)-[1,1'-binaphthalene]-2,2'-diamine, served as the key step in the synthesis of the potentially tetradentate ligands (R)-N,N'-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)[1,1'-binaphthalene]-2,2'-diamine and (R)-N,N'-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N,N'-dimethyl[1,1'-binaphthalene]-2,2'-diamine. In analogy, amination of 2-bromobenzaldehyde with (R)-[1,1'-binaphthalene]-2,2'-diamine produced (R)-N,N'-bis(2-bromobenzyl)[1,1'-binaphthalene]-2,2'-diamine, whose conversion into the novel diphosphine ligand (R)-N,N'-bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)benzyl]-N,N'-dimethyl- [1,1'-binaphthalene]-2,2'-diamine was readily attained in two steps. CD spectra of the new binaphthyl derivatives are presented.
