New macrocyclic compound as chiral shift reagent for carboxylic acids

Org Lett. 2007 Jan 4;9(1):125-7. doi: 10.1021/ol062711t.

Abstract

[structure: see text] We have prepared a novel chiral macrocyclic compound 3 from a C2-symmetric aminonaphthol in a high yield. Enantiomeric acids have large nonequivalent chemical shifts (up to 0.80 ppm) in the presence of 3 in 1H NMR (500 MHz) spectra. Quantitative analyses of a series of mandelic acids with different enantiomeric purities show that host 3 is an excellent chemical shift reagent for chiral carboxylic acids.
