Abstract

An aza-analogue of 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL, 3), 7-hydroxy- 8-(2-hydroxynaphth-1-yl)quinoline (8-azaBINOL, 2), was prepared in 3 steps and 49% yield from N,N-diethyl O-(7-hydroxy-8-iodoquinolyl) carbamate via Suzuki coupling with 1-naphthylboronic acid followed by Sanford oxidation and saponification. 8-AzaBINOL (2) was resolved into (-)-(aS) and (+)-(aR) atropisomers via enzymatic hydrolysis of its racemic divalerate derivative with bovine pancreas acetone powder. The configurational stability of diol 2 was found to be intermediate to that of 7,7'-dihydroxy-8,8'-biquinolyl (8,8'-diazaBINOL, 1, least stable) and BINOL (3, most stable). Eyring plot analysis of the enantiomerization kinetics of 1, 2, and 3, in DMSO solution revealed activation parameters of H‡ = +27.4, +19.9, +23.2 kcal mol-1, and S‡ = +3.8, -27.9, -25.3 cal mol-1 K-1, respectively. The unique character of H‡ and S‡ values for biquinolyl 1 suggests that the enantiomerization mechanism for 1 is distinct to that for naphthalenes 2 and 3. Monohydroxy analogues of 2, 7-hydroxy-8-(naphth-1-yl)quinoline (7) and 8-(2- hydroxynaphth-1-yl)quinoline (8), were similarly prepared and their racemization half-lives at room temperature were determined; t1/2(rac) was strongly dependent on solvent for naphthol 8 [t1/2(rac) at 24 °C: in CHCl3 = 2.7 h, in MeOH = 89 h] but not for the quinol 7 [T1/2(rac) at 24 °C: in CHCl3 = 106 h, in MeOH = 120 h].
