(Chemical Equation Presented) Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B) is one the most frequently used enzymes in organic synthesis for the preparation of optically active alcohols. However, it has not been used for the optical resolution of (±)-2,2′-binaphthol. We established an efficient linker-oriented design of 2,2′-binaphthol derivatives that is appropriate for optical resolution using CAL-B-catalyzed hydrolysis reaction. Methyl 4-(1-(6-bromo-2-methoxymethoxynaphthalen-1-yl)-6-bromonaphthalen-2-yloxy) butanoate was hydrolyzed by CAL-B to afford a corresponding acid with excellent enantioselectivity (E > 200). Two types of optically active binaphthol derivatives, 1-(2-hydroxy-6-(naphthalen-1-yl)naphthalen-1-yl)-6-(naphthalen-1- yl)naphthalen-2-ol and 6-butyl-1-(6-butyl-2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)naphthalen-2- ol, were prepared by this chemoenzymatic reaction protocol and were used as chiral templates for symmetric reactions.
