We performed an efficient practical and systematic optical resolution method for gem-dihalo- and monohalocyclopropanecarboxylic acids 1 and 5 utilizing chiral 1,1′-binaphthol monomethyl ether (R)-2 as the key auxiliary. Direct esterification of 1 with (R)-2 gave two 1R- and 1S-diastereomeric esters 3 with marked different Rf values, both of which were easily separated using simple column chromatography. Monodehalogenation of separated chiral esters 3 using t-BuMgCl and cat. Co(dppe)2Cl2 gave two 1,2-trans- and 1,2-cis-diastereomers 4 with markedly different Rf values, both of which were similarly separated using simple column chromatography. The obtained diastereomers 3 and 4 were easily hydrolyzed to the desired enantiopure acids 1 (>99%) and 5 (>99%), respectively, with recovery of (R)-2, both in good to excellent yields. Utilizing the present method, important chiral agrochemicals, carpropamid 6 and fencyclate 7, were readily synthesized. Pyrethroid 9 with three asymmetric centers was efficiently synthesized in a much better yield compared with the reported method. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2008.

Racemic carboxylic acids are resolved into their enantiomers using optically active enantiomers of four lactones as resolving agents. The four lactones are 2,3-isopropylidene-ribonic acid-1,4-lactone, 1,2-isopropylideneglucofuranurono-3,6-lactone, 2-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-1,4-butyrolactone and 3,4-isopropylidene-arabino-1,5-lactone. Novel diastereoisomeric esters of the acids with the lactones are disclosed.
