Optically active binaphthyls play an important role in asymmetric syntheses. 2, 2 ‘-Dihydroxy-1, l’-binaphthyl is frequently used as a chiral modifier both stoichiometrically 1 and catalytically. 2 In contrast, 8, 8’-dihydroxy-1, 1’-binaphthyl l3 has received little attention as a chiral modifier. Recently, we reported the enantioselective protonation of enolates with (R)-2 and the related carbamates. 4 To further extend the utility of this new chiral source 1, we attempted to synthesize the optically active phosphine ligand 8 from 1. Here we report the unexpectedly easy racemization of the phosphine oxides 5-7 we encountered in the synthesis of 8. Recently, Hayashi et al. introduced chiral monodentate phosphine ligands, eg 2-diphenylphosphino-2’-methoxy- 1, l’-binaphthyl 11, for palladium-catalysed hydrosilylation, 5 hydroboration6 and the reduction of allylic esters. 7 Switching the 2-and 2’-substituents of 11 to the 8-and 8’-positions, respectively, gives another phosphine 8. Since the distance from the 8-phosphorus atom to the 2’-hydrogen in 8 should be the same as that from the 2-phosphorus atom to the 8’-hydrogen in 11, each enantiomer should exist independently. Optically active 8 was expected to be easily prepared from optically active 1 without racemization according to a previously reported procedure. 8 The chiral environment of the diphenylphosphinoyl group in 8 is quite different from that in 11. Another naphthyl ring located at the peri-position in 8 completely obstructs the approach from this side so that a higher selectivity may be expected for 8 than for 11.9 Extensive studies by Harris and coworkers 10 revealed that 1, l-binaphthyls with sp3-substituents at the 8, 8’-positions are optically more stable than those with sp2-substituents.
