Abstract (EN):
(S)-6-(4-(Methoxycarbonyl)phenyl)-1,1’-bis-2-naphthol,
a chiral 1,1’-bis-2-naphthol (BINOL) derivative, was prepared
via Suzuki C¢C coupling and immobilized onto diamine-
functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes. The
BINOL was first derivatized with a carboxylic acid, capable of
forming an amide linkage with the amine–carbon nanotube
modified surface. The 4-methoxyphenylboronic acid was replaced
by 3-fluoro-4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenylboronic acid
and (S)-6-(3-fluoro-4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl)-1,1’-bis-2-
naphthol was obtained and used as a probe to better quantify
the organic material. It was found that in the hybrid material,
1/3 of amine groups have been transformed into the
corresponding amide (S)-BINOL derivative. The chemical and
electronic integrity of the chiral BINOL ligand is maintained
after the ligand immobilization. Evaluation in diethyl zinc
and Ti(OiPr)4-catalyzed alkylation of benzaldehyde showed
that both methoxycarbonylphenyl and fluoromethoxycarbonylphenyl
BINOL moieties do not significantly influence the
catalytic activity or selectivity of the process. However, when
hybrid materials were used, similar activities were obtained,
but with lower enantioselectivities. This result could be due
to a competitive alkylation reaction occurring on the carbon
surface or by the constraint caused by the ligand proximity
on the support surface.
