Abstract

Photo racemization of 2,2′-dihydroxy-1,1′-binaphthyl (BINOL) and its monomethyl ether, monobutyl ether, and dimethyl ether was studied by means of circularly dichroism spectra, chiral HPLC, and theoretical calculations of rotation energy barriers. Racemization was fastest for BINOL and about one seventh as fast for the monomethyl and monobutyl ethers while it was too slow to be detected for the dimethyl ether under the present conditions.
