摘要: A convenient enantioselective approach for the pinacol coupling of 1-acetylazulene involving easily accessible (R)- or (S)-BINOLs as chiral additive is reported. This supposes preformation titanium-BINOL complex in 1:2 ratio and subsequent reduction with zinc when, 2,3-di(azulen-1-yl)butane-2,3-diol can be isolated around 60% enantiomeric excess. The absolute configuration enantiomers was assigned by comparison experimental Boltzmann-weighted calculated VCD ECD spectra (+)-(2S;3S)-di(azulen-1-yl)butane-2,3-diol.
