摘要

A new multigram synthesis of chiral (S)-H-4-BINOL and its derivatives in moderate to high yield (up to 83% total yield) via monoesterification of (S)-BINOL, hydrogenation, and saponification reaction was described. The two new monomethylated (S)-H-4-BINOL obtained may be useful materials in asymmetric catalysis.
