crystallized to furnish enantiomerically pure (4R,5R)- or (4S,5S)-
CHTTOL (Scheme 4). For example, a mixture of (4R,5R)-CHTTOL of
80% ee and 0.1 equivalent of (3S,6S)-1 was dissolved in benzene or
toluene (20 mL) under heating and refluxed for 2 h, and then
cooled to ambient temperature to isolate a 1:2 colorless crystalline
complex of (3S,6S)-1 and rac-CHTTOL, ca. 60% yield. The solution
removed from the crystal was evaporated to ca. half of the original
volume to afford second crop, combined with the above together,
ca. 85% yield. The mother liquor separated from the above
inclusion complex was further concentrated to isolate a colorless
crystal of enantiomerically pure (4R,5R)-CHTTOL in more than 80%
yield. Finally, the solution was evaporated to dryness to furnish
(4R,5R)-CHTTOL contaminated by the heterocomplex.
was prepared by an improved Weber and Shepherd method [17].
Non-racemic (4R,5R)-CHTTOL was formed through mixing stoi-
chiometrically rac- and (4R,5R)-CHTTOL. IR spectra were record on
a Testscan Shimadzu FTIR 8000 in KBr. 1H and 13C NMR spectra
were taken in CDCl3 solutions at 300 or 400 MHz and 75 or
100 MHz, respectively, on a Varian Mercury VX 300 or Bruker AV
400, and all chemical shifts were reported as
d values (ppm)
relative to Me4Si. Melting points were determined on a VEB
Wa¨getechnik Rapido PHMK 05 instrument and were not corrected.
Optical rotations were measured in CHCl3 on a PerkinElmer 341 Mc
polarimeter.
4.2. Heterocomplexation of (3S,6S)-1 to rac-CHTTOL
It presents a striking contrast to the above, an analog of
rac-CHTTOL, rac-2,3-O-isopropylidene-1,1,4,4-tetraphenylthreitol
(IPTTOL) [13] did not undergo heterocomplexation under similar
condition to the above. However, between enantiomerically pure
(4R,5R)-IPTTOL and (3S,6S)-1, an inclusion complexation took
place and furnished a 1:2 crystalline complex (Scheme 5), which
has been characterized by the single crystal X-ray diffraction
analysis. The perspective view of the inclusion complex of (3S,6S)-
1 and (4R,5R)-IPTTOL showing the numbering scheme were shown
in Fig. 4. The data [15] showed that only an inclusion complex
molecule was included in a unit cell, where the configuration of the
dipeptide is retentive, namely it still is cis-(3S,6S). It was also
observed that in this supramolecular assembly, there are two types
of H bonding, including an internal H bond between both the
hydroxyl groups in per diol molecule and an intermolecular H bond
between the hydroxyl group of the diol and the carbonyl group of
(3S,6S)-1, and one carbonyl group of the dipeptide merely bonded
to one diol molecule.
A mixture of rac-CHTTOL (0.304 g, 0.6 mmol) and (3S,6S)-1
(0.058 g, 0.3 mmol) was dissolved in benzene (10 mL) with heating
and refluxed for 2 h, and then cooled to ambient temperature to
isolate a 1:2 colorless crystalline complex (0.337 g) of (3S,6S)-1 and
rac-CHTTOL, yield: 93%. mp 215–228 8C, [

Similar investigation indicated that no inclusion complexation
occurred between (3S,6S)-1 and chiral pinanediol [16] or (4R,5R)-
4-diphenylhydroxylmethyl-5-hydroxy-2,6,6-triphenyl-1,3,2-
dioxa-borolane [17].
3. Conclusion
The mother liquor was concentrated to offer second crop of the
inclusion complex, combined with the above together, 0.55 g, 85%
yield. The above obtained crystalline complex was worked up with
a mixture of water and diethyl acetate to afford (3S,6S)-1 [mp 143–
In summary, intermolecular interaction between (3S,6S)-1 and
some chiral diols has been examined, finding that the composition
of diols is one of the most important factors influencing
complexation property of the diols to (3S,6S)-1. Formation of
the complex between (3S,6S)-1 and (4R,5R)-2,3-O-cyclohexyli-
dene-1,1,4,4-tetraphenylthreitol or (4R,5R)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-
1,1,4,4-tetraphenylthreitol does not mean that enantioselective
inclusion complexation can take place between (3S,6S)-1 and the
racemic diols. For the chiral diols examined here, only rac-2,3-O-
cyclohexylidene-1,1,4,4-tetraphenylthreitol can undergo hetero-
complexation to (3S,6S)-1, and realized highly effective separation
of the excess enantiomer from the racemate in non-racemic 2,3-O-
cyclohexylidene-1,1,4,4-tetraphenylthreitol via complete dispro-
portionation of enantiomers.

4.3. A representative procedure for complete disproportionation of
enantiomers for non-racemic CHTTOL
According to similar procedure to the above, rac-CHTTOL

(0.03 g, 0.104 mmol) in benzene or toluene (20 mL), dissolved,
refluxed, then cooled to isolate a 1:2 colorless crystalline inclusion
complex of (3S,6S)-1 and rac-CHTTOL. The solution removed from
the inclusion complex crystal was concentrated to afforded
